Author login problem with iis and webdav.

Hi there

My setup is as follows.
A Windows 2003 Server, IIS 6, WebDav, and a website (aspx/C#)
A Windows XP Pro sp2 ie6 sp2.

Problem:
From a webpage it is possible to choose between opening a folder in a
virtual directory with file://... or http:// (WebDav).

When a user opens the folder using WebDav, a login dialog appears, and the
user enters his/her credentials and presses OK,
then the dialog reappears, and does so forever, even though the "remember my
password" is checked.
If, however, the user enters the credentials once and the cancels the second
login dialog, then the webfolder is shown.
And if the user opens the folder with the file://.. then there are no
problems, except that it's impossible to open the folder as a webfolder
until the ie is closed and reopened.

Sometimes, if a file is dropped into a web-folder, the filename is
shortened, e.g. MyDoc.doc becomes Moc.doc, yD is simply missing.

I hope that this makes sence, and there is some kind of solution :-)

Best regards

Allan.
