re: Can map folder in share, can NOT map the share itself :( Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 8:13 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Banana (24 messages posted) Thanks, I actually tried referring to the other machine with it's IP as well as with its network name, but neither works. So I tried these both: ("fileserver" being the network name for the machine with ip 10.0.0.1) net use x: \\10.0.0.1\ net use x: \\fileserver\ But neither works, I'm getting the system error 53 (also tried both without the backslash at the end, and also with forward slashes instead of backslahses). A shared folder within there may indeed not always exist, that's why I want to map the "root" of that machine (containing all its shared folders), rather than one specific shared folder (such as the 'porn' dir in my example).
