System error 67 says the network name cannot be found.

Try mapping by IP address and if that works, it is a DNS resolution issue. You can try using your local HOSTS file to provide the correct association.

my home ip is 192.168.1.x and my office is 192.168.78.x, I can ping 78, and I used ip to map the dive, it does not work, getting the error...thanks
I do this all the time and put the associations in my HOSTS file. That should fix it for you. The error comes from inability to resolve the remote name.

Is there a way that you can give me the direction how/what to add to host file?  thanks
I do not have your operating system but it may not matter.

Open Notepad as an Administrator.

File, Open, C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

A file opens. Add the following entry after the comments:

192.168.78.101 Servername

where 192.168.78.101 is the address of the server and Servername is the name of the server that has the folder.

Save the file (you need to have authority which is why the first line here).

this is what I have

127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.78.10   SRV1

but still getting the same error...
Did you restart?  

The entry is correct. If I make that kind of entry, I can:

NET USE V: \\server\F$ /user:DOMAIN\name password

You should be able to:

NET USE V: \\SRV1\folder /user:DOMAIN\name password
