WEBDAV with Windows 7

Hi guys, I had everything set up nicely to use my readynas nv+ on windows xp. But I upgraded to Windows 7 and am having problems accessing my shares. I'm trying to "connect to a network location", and type in the address of the share. A "windows security" window pops up and asks for my user name and password. I enter the username/password for the share and it says "the folder you entered does not appear to be valid. please choose another". This is weird because I enter the exact same credentials into my sync software and it connects to the readynas server just fine. What is going on?

Thanks!!!
