I'm trying to add a new network place. I have a mapped
drive to a server (small home network)which won't show in
network places and I can't seem to add it.

I'm trying to use Norton Ghost 9 which seems to only want
to point to "my network places" to store an image.
 
Mapped network drives don't show up in network places - they show up under "
My Computer". In Network Places, can you browse to the share you want to use
for Ghost?
 
Understand. That's the problem, in Network Places, I
can't browse to the share, yet I'm mapped to it. I
thought it was an idiosyncracy of Ghost which could be
resolved by making sure the share also shows in Network
Places.

Well, if you can't browse to Network Places in general, check to see if
NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled...
If you don't care about browsing anyway, in Ghost, can't you just specify
the UNC path manually? \\server\share ?

 
I specified the path manually and Ghost seems to accept
it. When I try to continue with the Ghost process, I get
another log-in prompt to the server, and then Ghost
fails. I can't tell if this is a Ghost problem or a
networking problem.

On the computer you're trying to connect to - is it running Win2k/XP? Have
you created a local user on that machine that matches your computer's login
name/password exactly?
