I am attempting to connect to a server by going start, start search,
\\192.168.3.21\ and it comes up whith network path not found yet I can ping
it just fine. Any idea's as to what would cause this. My WINS actually
points to the machine that I am attempting to connect to. If anyone can give
insight that would be great.
