    First, can you access any other resources on the server?
    Can you ping it?

    Re: UNC Path

    I can access everything on the server, i can ping it fine, i can load up the config page by using its IP address its just i cant see it by using the path in start > run, and thats whats causing the problem as it has to have the UNC path for it to work in the text file.

    Regards
    Lee

    Re: UNC Path

    When you're accessing it via the UNC notation are you doing it using the IP of the serve r or the name? Can you reach just \\server ?

    Re: UNC Path

    Thanks for all the help guys, was a driver issue instead of using a P2015 driver, I used a 1320N driver instead, stupid HP drivers.

    Thanks
