Dear all,
I'd like to add my little contribution to this post. First of all, I experience the same issue as above while trying to map a DMX web folder in windows XP (Auth dialog continuously popping up). Instead, WebDAV works perfectly while opening the files from the web interface directly in Office (no auth problems and correctly save back to server).
From the HTTP trace below (sniffed with WireShark), I see that the client is requesting the URI '/' while the entire DNN website is installed on a virtual directory of the server. The address that I typed in the explorer dialog is 'http://extranet.gualaclos...portal2/dmxdav.axd', so as fire as I can understand, the 'OPTION' request should be directed to the '/portal2' URI. Obviously this is not happening and the web server throws the 405 error.
What do you think?
Regards,
Andrea
