It might be worth cjecking your NetBIOS config.<br />
<br />
the \\servername is resolved by NetBIOS. You should be able to ping servername from the command prompt, but I suspect you can't. It would seem from this that you have either a local firewall that is blocking NetBIOS resolution for local traffic or that you have NetBIOS over TCP/IP disabled.<br />

Hi Experts, <br />
<br />
I have some XP clients that cant open some hyperlinks from Outlook. The traditional link \\server\shares\folder\fil<wbr />e.doc displays the following: <br />
Cannot find file \\server\shares\folder\fil<wbr />e.doc. Make sure the path or Internet address is correct.<br />
<br />
When sending out a new hyperlink with IP \\192.168.227.223\shares\f<wbr />older\file<wbr />.doc there no problem. <br />
<br />
The above looks DNS related. But how to locate and fix this?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />

Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
