DAV Share under XP.

[Bruce]

I have a problem creating persistent DAV connections on Windows XP and
XP Pro clients.

Servers are both Linux / Apache and Windows2000 Server Apache.
Have not tried with IIS.

The problem is quite simple. On Win2K, Win98 and Unix machines, I am
able to create persistent network shares to the DAV directories on the
servers. On XP machines, I am able to establish a connection, but it
fails to re-establish the share on reload.
Tried both the Network place and drive share route.

Have gone to the extent of using the command line :

"net use r: \\http://aaa.com/DAV /Persistent:ON"

to no avail. The users typically log on as Administrator, then can't get
to the resources on the DAV directory, put there specifically for when
they need to be Admin...

Any ideas?

"net use r: \\http://aaa.com/DAV /Persistent:ON"

Check the syntax, in particular the server name and your forward
slashes and backslashes. What has http got to do with it?

Hi Jim

Trying to share a WebDAV resource, that is the way windows wants the
name specified.
