Display full page address with iis7

Question

This is a rather strange problem I ran into.
We have a few web applications running from one server on IIS7.

The strange thing is, all of our sites when published display the full page address in the address bar of the browser except for one.

What I mean by full page address is http://host/website/Default.aspx.
The site that gives the problem displays http://host/website/

The problem site is done exactly the same as all the other sites on the server.

Any ideas why this could be?

Just to make it clear its not that the pages cannot be accessed. Its that the page name is not being displayed in the address bar.

I do apologize if the question is not 100% clear

Thank you for your answer.
I found the problem. The guy who published the web application forgot to remove all the other pages in the default document feature on iis except for the default.aspx page.
