yes i get an error when mapping. the server cannot be reach or could not be found.

any ideas?
need more info.

1. are you on a domain?

2. when you say "web share" do you mean the server which will probably have windows 2003 and iis has a folder that the admin right clicked on the folder->selected properties->"web share" tab the created a share so that s/he could add it to a virtual server on IIS? However, the admin did not create a traditional share under the "Share" under right click the folder and select share tab in w2k3.


If my guess is correct, he will have to create a traditional share as well, or you will have to install Front Extentions on IIS and connect through it. Just having a "web share" won't give you rights to map it as a network drive. You will also have to have the correct domain or local creditals to have access to the share.
