I have a software application that accesses data files through a shared
folder via the UNC path – for example \\computername\sharename. On some
systems where that share is on the local system, I am unable to access that
shared folder when the network is disconnected. From a DOS prompt -
C:\> dir \\mycomputer\share
(* output is correct directory listing *)
Then if I disconnect the computer from the network (and recieve the "A
network cable is unplugged" popup)
C:\> dir \\mycomputer\share
I get the message
“The network location cannot be reached. For information about network
troubleshooting, see Windows help.â€
I have two XP systems sitting next to each other (both IBM laptops.) One
can access data through the UNC path when the network is disconnected and the
other can’t.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
