Quoting the FAQ on the nu2.nu page: Q: I've loaded the network drivers (tcp), all OK. When I use "net use f: \\192.168.10.15\c$" I get "Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot be located". A: You cannot use IP-based machine names when using Microsoft client. You need to enter the real machine name: "net use f: \\servername\c$". I think the other post about opening port 137 for UDP has merit. The only time I've had to mess with this I've had a fully functioning DNS server to resolve the names. -- William Hooper
