2007-06-17 | Getting WebDAV to work in Windows Vista
I've already mentioned that WebDAV is broken in Windows Vista. When the Vista user interface asks you to enter a user name and password for a WebDAV resource it inevitably prepends the hostname to the entered username and tries to log on with that one.
The workaround is to use the command line to map a network drive to your WebDAV folder as follows:
C:\>net use * http://dav.myserver.com/ Enter the user name for 'dav.myserver.com': martin Enter the password for dav.myserver.com: **** Drive W: is now connected to http://dav.myserver.com/. The command completed successfully.
The network drive can be disconnected via GUI or via command line as follows:
C:\>net use /delete W: W: was deleted successfully.
Don't forget to check the output of "net use /?" for inspiration as to what else you can do. :-)

I am still getting an error when the webdav works perfect on win xp
C:\Windows\system32>net use * "http://myserver.com/"
System error 67 has occurred.
The network name cannot be found.
:(

I had that too the other day but rebooting solved it for me. Vista has a lo-o-ot of issues with network shares and drive letters.
On the other hand, I could never get anything mounted with the net use syntax on XP. If I knew of a good stand-alone WebDAV application I would use it. *sigh*
