Thanks for your response jedatu,
So I think the file shared should be ok. The problem is likely due to the
webserver's http url can not quite be corrrectly resolved as the IIS site
so that fails to be mapped to the shared folder.... Does that work if
just creating or open web project inside the XP virtual PC itself(through
the
http://shiraz url)?

|
| Yes. I can browse (read/write/execute) either \\SHIRAZ\wwwroot$\ or
| \\SHIRAZ\c$\Inetpub\wwwroot
|
| Yes. It is the root web on Shiraz, but I have another project on that IIS
| server that is not a root and it won't open either. I throws the same
| error, so I think they are unrelated.

|
| Opening the project file directly produces the error:
| Unable to open Web project '/'. The file path '\\shiraz\wwwroot$' does
not
| correspond to the URL 'http://shiraz:'. The two need to map to the same
| server location.

| FYI:
http://shiraz is browseable from both the Host OS and the VPC OS.

| I tried creating a new project and it choked too.

Again, I

| Any ideas?
