1. Trying to map drive to our share
     -Enter either
          \\ourserver.com:8081\alfresco\webdav (where the server
forwards 8081 to 8080 on the alfresco box)
      -or
          http://ourserver.com:8081\alfresco\webdav
          
In both cases I get this error:
     Windows cannot access \\ourserver:8081\alfresco\webdav.
     
If I enter \\ourserver.com:8081\alfresco\webdav into Windows Explorer, I
get:
    "There is no program associated to perform the requested action.
Please install a program or, if one is alfready installed, create an
association in the Default Programs control panel."
    
If I enter http://ourserver.com:8081/alfresco/webdav in Windows Explorer
it opens the web browser and gives me a directory listing. This lets me
open the file read only. But there is no way to upload the file once it
has been saved as,modified, and resaved.

Ubuntu Nautilus connects nicely using:
    dav://eric@ourserver.com:8081/alfresco/webdav
    
But this URL copied to Windows Explorer gives the same "no program
associated" error.

The WebClient service is running.

Thanks.
