In WinXP we could set up Network Places and not have to enter the full URLs every time we wanted to go to that resource. What is it called in Vista and how do I set one up?

It's called "Network" and is found on the Start Menu unless you've removed it.

It is there, and it is showing me all the computers and places on my domain. How does it help me post a page from Word 2007 to my blog at

Open My Computer. Right click on any area on the right hand side where the drives are listed. You see "Add a Network Location". I believe that's what you're asking for.

That, indeed, is what I was looking for. I was able to add a network place to my file server on a box in the domain.
It did not help me connect to the blog server, which requires me to log in--kept saying it didn't look like a valid address.
Perhaps this has to be set up in IE7.

OK, I really have been informed about the "NetWork Place" equivalent--it is the Add Network Place right function in the Conputer panel. And it is nice that one does not have to select Microsoft Windows Network thingy before getting a display of all the computers on the local network. But I also want to set network places to Internet address. In the computer page, it is not accepting any Internet address.
Where do I set up a Network Place to an Internet address, with login parameters and all?
Somehow it doesn't seem that I should have to declare an imaginary modem to get something like this to work.

Turns out that, in Word 2007, you type Alt F -> Publish -> Blog, which brings up a ribbon group with all the buttons you need. It also kicks off a wizard to register your blog, with all the connection parameters, parameters, etc. Once you find it, it is easy to use. I found the following blog article: http://neosmart.net/blog/archives/173 , which told me how to do this.
It does not show up in your Network Places.

Subject: SPS03 and WebDav
From: Hollis Paul
Newsgroups: microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver
I have been trying to get NetWork Places to work with respect to my SharePoint Portal 03 from my Vista Client ever since I installed it. Today I followed the hint of doing a network place to a file share, and asked the IIS help on how to share a web site. This led to WebDav redirection and to WebDav itself. (And I recalled earlier messages saying that the old network folder functionality had been absorbed into WebDav.) Anyway, the WebDav redirection help said that you had to allow the WebDav extensions for IIS. So I looked. Sure enough, in the extensions list, WebDav Extensions were Prohibited. And they are allowed in the File Server on the same box.
Does allowing WebDav Extensions in IIS cause problems for SharePoint Portal Server 2003? How about in IIS5 web sites?

Isn't your portal site configured for Basic authentication by any chance? Because Vista disallows this by default for WebDAV connections.
As for the extensions, enabling them does not make much sense as DAV functionality is already provided by SharePoint itself. I'm not sure if it will cause problems, but that's where my guess would be.

Sezel, thank you for the post. Yes, it is configured for Basic Authentication. How do we set Vista to allow Basic Authentication for WebDav connections?

I worked at this, with the aid of the WebDAV help on the SharePoint box, and enabled WebDav and Integrated authentication. I could then create Network places on Vista that pointed to the SharePoint Portal sites and doc libraries. I disallowed the WebDav extensions and was still able to create a Network Place in the postal.
I tried the same with my IIS webs on the SBS server. I could not create a Network Place on that web until I had both WebDav Extensions allowed on the Virtual Server, and Integrated authentication allowed.
Mystery sort of solved. Agatha Christy does it better.

Hollis,
I understand it may be a bit too late now, but here's the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841215
So you may go back to Basic Auth if you need to
Good luck!
