Vista - How do I add a network location

On XP you simply had to add a network place (I have a few domains that I
update all the time). I can't publish from any of my Office Professional
2007 programs and I just can't add a remote location. When I try to add a
location it take me to my wireless network and then won't let me add a
folder. I'm pulling my hair out! Can anyone help me access my other sites?

I'm probably going to need to install 2003 Front Page again.

Hi Judith,

Are you trying to add the location using the wizard? It can be accessed by
following these steps:

1. Open Computer by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Computer.

2. Right-click anywhere in the folder, and then click Add a Network
Location.

3. Follow the steps in the wizard to add a shortcut to a location on your
network, a website, or an FTP site.

I tried this to add a website that I use to store documents. This site is
password protected. This works fine in XP Pro. When I tried this in Windows
Vista Biz edition after entered the URL I received the following message:

"The folder you entered appears to be invalid. Please select another"

Since this works in XP Pro I can only assume that it is something in Vista,
but what?

Charlene, I am also experiencing the same problem using Vista Business
edition. When I go through the Wizard, when I copy and paste the URL for any
of our business locations, I receive the message, "The folder you entered
does not appear to be valid. Please enter another."
It is a valid location that I can access using XP - it should ask for a
username & password.

Thanks for assistance, DP
