Should probably update the book to show this. It looks like if you add
the :80 to the URL when creating the link in Windows XP (at least with
SP2) it does not have the problems described in the book.
By the way, this is the message that caused me to suggest that he try
that.

It's a well-known issue with the WebDAV client in WinXP. The authentication
tokens it passes to the HTTP server are in an IIS-only format. Who knows why.
But, mod_auth_msfix solves this problem on the server-side:

I'd suggest that someone write this up as a FAQ and/or patch the book. More
info also available at:
<http://dav.lyra.org/pipermail/dav-dev/2003-November/005150.html>
<http://dav.lyra.org/pipermail/dav-dev/2004-March/005388.html>
FWIW, I tried to contact the author of the mod_auth_msfix module to see about
including it in future releases of httpd, but I didn't receive a reply. Oh,
well. -- justin
