Seems awfully peculiar to me but on my XP pro PC...

I can ping my server but cannot map a network drive..

If I select browse on map a network drive after typing in its IP address it will find the folder but say "The drive can not be mapped because no network was found"

If I type in the IP address or the name of my server in an address bar it says "not accessible you may not have permissions, the network is not present or is not started"

AND yet... if I go into My Network Places it automatically shows up the share as a folder which I can access

My best guess is that a service, somewhere, is disabled, anyone else have any thoughts??
 
Sorry, just did a bit more checking and,

If I type the address and the share into the address bar it will let me but not if it's just the address (then displaying available shares)
