Webdav connection

[Glenn W. Johnson]

I am having problems with setting up a webdav connection. I keep getting
the error: "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.". I have
not seen any comments on webdav so I am wondering if there are any issues?

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

There shouldnt be any issues with basic webdav access. I'm assuming you are
seeing the error on the *vista client* while trying to setup a connection to
the webdav folder. Can you post what is the command which is failing ? (Are
you opening the folder in explorer or doing anything else)

Also what sku are you running on the client ?

Thanks !
Prashanth

Yes, I am trying to connect to a Webdav service using the Vista computer. I
am running build 5308 and I am connecting by right clicking on the Computer
window and click the "Add a Network Place". This brings up a wizard. I
click Next then double click "Chose another network connection" The error
appears after I enter the http://Server/share in the Internet Address field
and press Enter.

Thanks,
Glenn

Glenn,

Assuming all the other debugging doesnt reveal this to be a other
configuration issue, can you send me the network capture (using netmon or
ethereal) when the operation fails ?

Thanks ~

I haven't done it with WebDAV, but I recall seeing a similar error when
trying to connect to an FTP site through Internet Explorer. When I connected
through an Explorer (folder) window, it connected without that message.

I think I was also able to get around it in IE by choosing File > Log On
through Explorer or something like that. Sorry, don't recall the details and
not totally sure if it's relevant.

May I ask... why the name "Puppy Breath"?

I guess it was just the first thing that came to mind when prompted for a
nickname somewhere along the line way back when. I just like the smell of
puppy breath.

Hmm... maybe you should get that checked out perhaps?
