Command Line Syntax for Network Paths

[Guest]

Could someone please tell me how to access other network computers from the
command line? \\<ComputerName> doesn't work--I get the message "CMD does not
support UNC paths as current directories". I've googled this a little and
come up with nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Ramesh:

Thank you very very much. After a little more playing with network paths to
shared directories, this did the trick. I'm honored to be answered by you;
I've done quite a bit of reading on your website, and you certainly know your
stuff.

Best,
Buck
