We had this problem when starting our projects too. I believe VS.net
attempts to connect to the project via FrontPage extentions first (which is
why it tried http://161.#.##.##/crews/WebApplication1
<http://161.#.##.##/crews/WebApplication1> first) then it'll try to access
the project via network shares (which is why it then tried to access it via
the UNC path \\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot$\crews\WebApplication1'
<file://\\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot$\crews\WebApplication1'> ) For some reason
VS.net added the $ at the end of the wwwroot share name - so when we removed
the $ it worked for us... so try connecting to
\\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot\crews\WebApplication1
<file://\\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot\crews\WebApplication1> (notice - no $ after
wwwroot). If that doesn't work -- see if you can access
\\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot$\crews\ <file://\\$$$.wku.edu\wwwroot$\crews\> from
your windows explorer. If not, then it could be a permissions problem...
