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?

Also telling us exactly what you are trying to do and why with these antique operating systems might yield some different answers to your problem.

Booting a laptop from a floppy so that I can map a share on a windows 2000 server. Then I can run ghost and perform a ghost backup of laptop in question. Server is a domain controller. Unfortunately, laptop does not support network boot. Its a legacy system so we have to use windows 2000 - dont ask !!! :-) This used to work ok. We 'ported' to a new server hardware with different ethernet cards and now it doesnt work. Dont know why because server setup should be identical.
