I get the same message when I try to add our Apptix SharePoint site (formerly
Microsoft bCentral SharePoint) to my Network folder. I am using Vista Home
Premium. Apptix can add our http site on a Vista computer at their site, but
I can't.

I found the an article, "On a Windows Vista-based computer, you cannot
access certain directories on a Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning
(WebDAV) server." I an not sure this applies in our case, but Vista
obviously has problems that Microsoft does not completely understand yet.
