Map Network Drive wizard will fail to connect to any ports other than 80 displaying “The network path could not be found” message. Your WebDAV server must be located on a default port 80. If the service is disabled open WebClient Properties dialog and on General tab set Startup Type to Automatic. On Windows Server 2003 this service is disabled by default. Unlike WebFolders client, Redirector provides the complete abstraction of a file system to a remote WebDAV share. It is available on both XP and Vista versions of Windows and there is no special installation required. Open Services snap-in and find WebClient service. Redirector (or sometimes called Mini-Redirector) is sort of a successor to the WebFolders WebDAV client on windows based platforms. In case you wish to use Map Network Drive wizard (mini-redirector, another WebDAV client) follow this steps:
#WEBDAV REDIRECTOR INSTALL INSTALL#

On Server 2003 Web Folders (WebDAV client) is not installed by default. Important Mini-Redirector is not installed by default on Windows Server 2008 and later Windows Server versions.
