Hi, there.

I was wondering if it is possible to map a drive using the IP address of a server, instead of the name, such as:

use M: "\\121.32.43.5\folder$"

Any help is truly appreciated.

Why don't you just try it? How hard can it be?

I did, but it did not work, thus the posting requesting help on the matter. It fails. I assumed that it does not like the numbers or, most likely, the periods in the IP address. Any ideas are welcome.

it should work fine.
place "@error ?" line after that to see what's wrong.

USE M: "\\192.168.1.25\somshare$"
'' + @ERROR + ' ' + @SERROR ?

Works fine for me.

Unfortunately, we cannot possibly know if you used the right numbers or put the periods in the right places. You might ask a coworker if they look right.

It might also be a permissions problem or a firewall issue, depending on where the computer is located.
