Windows 7 unable to browse UNC path on Sharepoint Server
I am having a bit of a dilemma. I cannot seem to browse the files using a UNC path (\\dnsname\path) from a normal windows 7 professional. If you type the path (ex: \\dnsalias\ ) it pops up but nothing shows in the window.
It works on XP clients with no issues and I can see all the contents of that UNC path within the explorer window. But on the Windows 7 machines, its empty.
I have made sure that the WebClient Service is on and added the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\
The server I am trying to browse is a sharepoint site and the name is a CNAME I added in DNS to resolve to that server. It works on the XP machines and strangely enough on my Windows 7 machine but nobody else's Win 7 workstation.
Still not having any luck. Any suggestions?

If you use the browser and select open in explorer does it work?

No it does not. Still empty window
Is the site listed as a trusted site or local intranet?
In IE browse to the page and look in bottom right hand corner

Yes, I checked that and explicitly added all the intranet CNAME's. It will work if you do http://abc but not \\abc from the run command.
I understand it doesn't work with \\abc. But what about if you go to the url of a library, \\abc\libraryname ?
