Can't map network drive

Please bear with me. This isn't my core comp area...

I'm on a Vista Ultimate box. We have a remote win2003 server that I used to
be able to map a network drive to by keying \\xx.xx.xx.xx\ftp in Internet
Explorer. Vista would pop up a box, I enter the server userid and pw and up
pops the File Explorer. ONce I had this I could drag and drop etc. as if it
were a local drive. I believe the server is using WebDav.

The sysadmin added a certificate to the server so that now the connection is
https. Now the old way of connecting doesn't work. I can just click on a
link https://xx.xx.xx.ftp/ and it gives me a primative File Explorer that
contains the links to the files, but it isn't the fully functioning File
Explorer where I can drag and drop etc. I also tried Map a network drive and
using the HTTPS:// etc. and it doesn't work.

Is there a way that I can map a network drive and get a fully functioning
File Explorer window to an HTTPS connected server?

Thanks

Russ

For a higher probability of a good answer, consider posting in a
