Network wont show up

My school has a thing where i can connect to my school account through my computer. I have connected to it with my old XP computer. But when i tried to connect with Vista it just says that the folder isnt valid. I know this isnt true because i have connected to it already. Does anyone know what i can do?

I have already checked numerous times that i have typed it correctly.

HELP!!!

Thanks,
Aaron

Re: Network wont show up

Here is the website that my school has to help with this...

http://www.bathwildcats.org/hs/FYIStudentHomeXP.pdf

There is also a mini-lesson type thing that they have for users that have vista... i tried to follow that.... did everything ... then they say to follow the XP instructions... I did every thing and still nothing.

I am trying to connect to my school account.... its just like a folder on the server.

Re: Network wont show up

Well i am trying to connect through this address :
http://www.bathwildcats.org:80/studenthome/10longa

If that tells you anything there you go

The error message i get says:
The folder you are trying to access appears to be invaild.

I know this is wrong because it works on the XP

Hi BHs2010,

Thanks, so your conntecting via HTTP, well you can try this out, on your vista pc go to control panel, select clasic mode, then select user accounts, over there on the far left of your scree you should see something as manage network passwords, click on that, then say add. then make sure you have selected A web site program, add your username and password. after that try access the web page. you should get in.

Hope this helps

Cheers !!
