RE: WEBDAV and Vista

It seems like you may be having some proxy issues. WebDAV redirector picks
up the proxy settings from internet explorer but I am not sure what settings
you have there.
Is your website a www site or is it on your local network? Can I access this
website resource over internet? If so, I'd like to try accessing it. Let me
know if I can and I'll send you my email address where you can send me the
access information.

thanks.
