have you tried to ping the Computername (Name Resolution) ?

there are some udf's to strip an Ip adress from a ping (search udf library for ping() [Big Grin] )

maybe it works with the returned ip instead of the name ...

I can't think of a KiX limitation regarding mappings to administrative shares (I for myself do solely use KiX' use command since Years for all kind of mappings !)
