Got laptop which boots from windows 95 into DOS. Loads network
drivers
etc. IP address is 10.1.99.7 (255.255.255.192) and gateway is
10.1.99.10.
10.1.99.10 is windows 2000 server with shares on.

From laptop 10.1.99.7 (255.255.255.192) I can ping 10.1.99.10.


However, if I do :-
NET USE \\PXE-SERVER\SHARE1
or NET USE \\10.1.99.10\SHARE1


I get ERROR 53-Computer name specified in the network path cannot be
found.


How can this be? I've specified an IP address?
