Obviously Windows 7 does a little bit more with network connectivity than Vista since it can warn (with a yellow exclamation icon) if the router loses connectivity with internet. I haven't seen the error in a month or so, but I don't know yet if it is gone for good or not. I did get the error once or twice after installing the most recent drivers. One other thing that struck me was that maybe it could also be an unfortunate combination of some other faulty (or near-faulty) equipment on the network that sends "unusual" packets to the network card. My router died a week ago and it might not have anything at all to do with this, but it is something to keep in mind. I'll have to wait another month or so with the new router and see if the error comes back or not. @Joe: One might suspect that the error is somehow related to Windows 7.

I had much the same experience. I think I had to provide my logon password five times. Go figure? In an earlier attempt I had tried removing the sub domain as you suggested but I had included the Secure Socket Layer (@SSL) in the path and that perhaps is what was causing the problem. As you say, the sub domain isn't displayed but the folder mapped OK, so that is all I need. Mike, Once again, THANKS! I had much the same experience.

However I am using a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 ethernet controller. Thres a new driver out for these cards every month, none have solved the problem for me. Any luck finding a solution?

Be patient since it can be like 30 seconds before the login dialog box is shown. I just tried it and I got in, but for some reason I had to type my login 2-3 times (?). However, even though I see my photos there, now I can't find where I saw the subdomain the last time I tried. With a tool like Fiddler (www.fiddler.com) I can see it, but that is of course more work. I'm hoping there will be something official about all this SkyDrive/Live services from Microsoft during the MIX10 conference March 15-17. They have been quiet about Live services and their api for quite some time now... @Bill The address you type into the address bar of Windows Explorer should look like:

I'm not sure I understand Windows Explorer redirection well enough. I did try mapping a Network Drive using the same path as used to mount the Documents folder (ie "^2Documents" and maps perfectly) with the name of my photos folder but that just yielded a "path could not be found" message. I assume that is because I have in that path the sub domain for the Documents folder. IOW I simply replaced the "^2Documents" with my photo folder name. I would appreciate the steps you followed to have Windows Explorer resolv your photo folder sub domain. Thanks for all you help and advice.

It worked perfectly well for me. The only thing is that the speedy is indeed pretty slow: I get around 40KB/s even with "Automatically detect settings" disabled. Thank you so much for this tip!

For some reason I had wandered off to check the allowable file characters in the .Net environment and "&" was not excluded and I stopped there; not thinking the obvious, which was, this was just a command line script and and would likely need to conform to the "long file name, special characters, etc" requirement for quotes. Sometimes I over think things! Thanks again. Thanks, the quotation marks solved the issue.
