UNC (Universal Naming Convention)

[Raj Johal]

I can not specify \\Administrator\Acctg\BWGold, in the
Windows Explorer address bar and have my computer display
contents of the shared Acctg folder and its subfolders,
or any other folders. I use accounting software,
BusinessWOrks Gold, that requires UNC to work. Please,
please help, I am desparate.

Thank you.

Too many reasons could explain this.

Post back and let us know:

1) Did this ever work? If so, what changed?
2) Is this a mixed network (9x, XP)?
3) Are you using simple file sharing or complex?
4) Are you using multiple transport protocols (TCP, IPX, NetBEUI)?
5) Describe your network. Where is the Administrator machine? What
machine are you trying to access it from?
