I am trying to map a network drive with an address like this:


It's basically a folder on the school network, I can access this folder and view its contents perfectly fine through an internet browser, but when I try to map a network drive to it, it doesn't work, I keep getting errors like this:

A device attached to the system is not functioning

Why do I keep getting this message? And why am I able to access that folder through a browser but not through windows? I am using Windows 7 btw.

Any help much appreciated.
 
possible fix (found from a google seach):

Service 'Routing and Remote Access' is required for this.
Go to control panel - Admin tools - services.
Scroll down to 'Routing and Remote Access'.
Go to properties and set start-up to automatic and start the service
 
I think the net use commands will still work under Win 7. You might give it a try. See here

Then try a command string similar to
Code:
net use x: "https://server.com/folder" /User:UserName Password
