When you try to connect to a Web folder by using a network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) name on a computer that is running Windows Vista, you are prompted for the user name and the password.

This issue occurs even though the “Automatic logon with current user name and password” security option is set for the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Web folder in the “Trusted Sites” zone and in the “Local intranet” zone.

For example, this issue occurs when you use one of the following NetBIOS names to connect to the Web folder:

• http://server_name/webdav
• http://server_name.company_name.com/webdav

Note You do not experience this issue in Microsoft Windows XP.
