homecomputeraid Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Are you able to ping the server you're trying to connect to by name?Go to a Command Prompt (Start, Run, type cmd, then hit Enter). In the command window that opens, type ping ServerName, replacing the ServerName with your server's network name. If not, there's a name resolution problem.As a workaround, you could put in an IP Address for the server if you know it for your share instead of the server name.It would look like \\192.168.100.1\projects instead of \\**-******\projects.
