First thing is to verify that your DNS records point to the new server. Then check that the share exists on the new box. Also try appending the domain name at the end of the \\servername.domain\share.<wbr /> &nbsp;This May point you to the issue

Just migrated to a new server everything is working fine EXCEPT.<br />

Mapped Drives work fine. &nbsp;but when you go to My Computer address bar and enter<br />

\\servername\sharename it doesn't. &nbsp;(not Responding, Times Out)<br />

I have an oracle application that cannot use drive mappings, have to use direct entry, <br />

I know this must be a simple GP setting or Network thing, but I am not sure what to search for, Help! &nbsp;Thanks ahead of time.

Drive Mapping vs. Direct Entry of Server address

The Microsoft Legacy Operating System topic includes legacy versions of Microsoft operating systems prior to Windows 2000: All versions of MS-DOS and other versions developed for specific manufacturers and Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions, and Windows Mobile.

Microsoft Legacy OS

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Networking

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
