WebDav problem maybe?

[Guest Brett R. Wesoloski]

I created a program for printing documents which are stored in sharepoint.

This program uses the UNC path to get the documents. In IE on vista I can

type in the UNC path and the file comes up. I am having problem on the

server where this code is run however. It is a Windows 2003 sp2 server.

When I put in the UNC path in IE the file does not come up. I get an error

to check the spelling. I know the link is correct because I copied and

pasted the link. Now I also went into Windows explorer on my vista machine

and I could map the network drive. It comes back with DavWWWRoot so that is

where I think this might be a WebDav problem. Because when I go to the

Windows 2003 server and try to map a network drive I get the drive could not

be found because no network exists.

 

Any idea's on this? Does the webserver need some sort of a WebDav client or

something?

 

TIA,

Brett

Re: WebDav problem maybe?

 

Seems like for some reason your Win2003 SP2 machine cannot "see" or

communicate with the program which is hosted on annother machine.

 

What about the basic test? Like Ping? Same subnet? What about router

configurations? Both on same domain?

Oops sorry, yes I did a ping and it came back. They are both on the same

subnet and on the same domain. Now Router configuration I didn't look into.

Re: WebDav problem maybe?

 

Well I seem to be getting a little closer.

 

I started the Web Client services. Now I am able to put the address into IE

and it will bring up the doc.

 

My problem however is I still can't map a network drive to it....

 

So when my code runs I get network path not found the same as when I try to

map the network drive.

 

Any idea's?

 

TIA,

Brett

What OS is the network drive running? Have you ensure that Simple File

Sharing is disabled? It can be accessed through Tools -> Folder Options ->

View.

Re: WebDav problem maybe?

 

Also if you map using command "net use", what error will you get there?
