I've been in a similar situation (trying to work out how to get WebDAV rather than FP view working). Been through that paper, looking at network packet captures, and all sorts of things. Pinged MVPs, Microsoft people, and couldn't work it all out.
Upgrade to Vista - the WebDAV redirector was completely rewritten for Vista and works now :-) Cheers Ken From: Tim Evans [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 22 May 2008 8:02 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Sharepoint Explorer View Issues We're having some problems with some users ability to use Explorer View in shared documents folders on our MOSS server. The symptom is that the get an authentication popup when they change from the All Documents view to Explorer view. They cannot authenticate with the pop up, no matter what credentials are used. If they cancel the popup, they get in, but have reduced functionality (can't drag & drop, copy, etc). The users affected by it appear to be completely random some with IE6, some with IE7, nothing in common that I can see (all are XPSP2 or 3). Googling for help on this yields a bunch of blog entries that all point to a 2006 MS White paper titled "Understanding and Troubleshooting the Sharepoint Explorer View". From reading this white paper, it sounds like we are getting FPRPC instead of WebDAV. Following the troubleshooting steps, we have confirmed that the Web Client Service is running, the content unencrypted over port 80. Manually adding the site to the local intranet zone makes no difference (it shows unknown zone/mixed by default). So, does anyone know how to force IE to use WebDAV on a Sharepoint site? ...Tim ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
