You're not supposed to type something like story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1 as an URL alias.

There's a better way to do that. Try installing redirect module and add a new 301 redirect rule from story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1 to your new node's URL node/1.

So, whatever any user / search engine visits story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1, they will be redirected to node/1. or whatever the path you have given to the 301 redirect rule.

Hope this Helps... Muhammad.
