Web Server / HTTP / Webdav Sheet Set MGR Issue

I am running a QNAP server with a web dav connection (we do a lot of work outside of our local office network and I already have a VPN connection).

 

On the Webdav server, I can open Autocad files, work in them, and save them to our remote server with no issues at all. The speed is fast and I have not had any issues with the login credentials. It took some time to set-up our new Windows 7 machines in regards to changing the registry authentication - but the authentication works fine.

 

The problem is that the Sheet Set Wizard is not finding the Autocad files on the websever. Using the sheet set wizard I can tunnel through the folders where the .dwg is located with a layout as a separate tab in paper space. When using the wizard, it does not appear that the file even exists.

 

When I copy the file to my local hard drive, I can use the Sheet Set Wizard properly. I have another drive which is mapped using a VPN protocol, and the Sheet Set Wizard is able to find the file too. I have tried seaching about this item for sometime and have not turned up any results with QNAP or the Autodesk Forums. Right now I am in a blaming game between QNAP and Autodesk and I'm not certain myself, who is responsible for the issue. Here are some other points that may or may not be of interest.

 

- I connect to the web server using 'other credentials' because the laptop and webserver usernames are not the same.

- The server is mapped the the same network drive on all computers

- The use is common with other computers and individual login credentials.

- All windows updates have been installed

- Virus protection software (Windows and others) tried with the protection on and off.

- No idea if it is an Autodesk issue, QNAP, (or worse) Microsoft.

 

Hope that you guys can give some attention to this issue.

Webdav (and Sharepoint) is not supported in the program: no need to 'blame' anyone, it's not a designed option in the software. Maybe in the future.

AutoCAD 360, the cloud based version, is Webdav capable but I don't think it offers SSM yet.
