Question : mapping a network drive on port 81 with WebDAV

Hi All,

I'm trying to set up WebDAV with windows 2003 server and Windows XP Pro (client)
I have gotten to the point where i can access my folder via
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/MyShare
with FireFox and IE, both with both the internal ip and external ip of the web server.

what I want to do is map it as a network drive
trying the map as
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/MyShare
 
gives the error
'The networking path http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/MyShare could not be found'

I have also tried using
net use G: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/MyShare
and
net use G: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:81/MyShare /user:administrator
and get the
'System Error 67 has occured.
The network name cannot be found'

what am i doing wrong?

Answer : mapping a network drive on port 81 with WebDAV

Here is a good tutorial on WebDav...  I followed the steps, and was able to connect remotely without any issues...

Also, I would not mess with redirecting the ports...  JMHO..
