WebDAV on XP 1

[MasterRacker]

I have a test IIS server set up and I've enabled WebDAV to connect to a site on it. It's configured to let anyone in and I have basic authentication enabled along with Windows authentication.

On a Windows 7 client, I can connect to the WebDAV share just fine after being prompted for a username and password. On an XP box, logged in as the same user, I get no prompts and it opens an Explorer window with no contents visible.

I found this [small]

[/small] and made the registry changes on the XP box to enable basic authentication thinking it's a similar problem, however it did not solve the issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

No love with those, but I did stumble on this one:

The key item

Note Windows XP can only connect to port 80 and can only map to a sub folder and not the root directly.

I moved the test site into a subfolder of the IIS defined root and I can open it under XP. Not ideal, but it will work for dev work. (I don't have the option of moving the user to Win7 at this time.)
