WEBDAV + VISTA = errormessage?

[Guest]

Me ( and as I see in web some others too) don't get it running: WEBDAV + VISTA.

The "Add network location" wizard is buried (you get to it through "Map
Network Drive", e.g., rt-click "Computer", select "Map Network Drive", click
"Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and
pictures").

From here, things look familiar. But entering my webdav URL to folder gives
me an error message "The folder you entered does not appear to be valid.
Please choose another."

I tried the same URL in Mac and XP and it worked. So maybe Vista is munging
the authentication in a new and different way? I've tried different,
anonymous access too. Nothing worked.

In IE7 the WEBDAV folder is displayed correctly under Vista. Host is Windows
2003 Server, no magic.

Anyway, looking forward to the workaround ;-)

Frank - can you try a net use * in command prompt to the same URL and let me
know the output?
net use * <url>

Also, what type of auth is the share using? NTLM (Integrated) / Basic /
Anonymous? If I could reproduce the error, then I would love to investigate.
