Naming machine/drive
Posted by John on October 11th, 2005


I had to replace the server on our small, three machine, network.

The server is "Basement", the other two are "Susan" and "Shipping". When I
try to access the shared documents folder on Basement it does not show up on
the network. The name is there with nothing under it.

XP Pro SP2 asks me to insert the name and it does not take any of the names
I have tried such as \\basement\...

The folder is "Shared Documents" on Drive C (which is named Tony) so
\\basement\tony should work doesn't.

Where am I going wrong? And could I have a very simple answer as the person
who will be entering the information is not that network literate.

Thanks in advance
