Simple Trick to Determine if a Tree or Directory is Mappable in 95 or NT4

Keywords:    mappable drive map point

Question:

I'm trying to map the following tree with the function below:
AddExtender("WWWNT34I.DLL")
wntAddDrive(@DEFAULT,@DEFAULT,"\\CWRUNET\CWRU\LIT\CDROMS\BEAST",@NONE,@false)
According to our Novell expert the tree is BEAST.CDROMS.LIT.CWRU and the correct UNC is \\CWRUNET\CWRU\LIT\CDROMS\BEAST.

Answer:

That UNC does not look like a valid server name.

To know for sure:

Get a TWO pane Explorer going (Tree on left, files on right) Display directory you want to map to in tree. Right click the directory name in the left hand pane. Domes a MAP menu item show up? If not, its not a map point and you cannot map directly there. Move up the tree to find a usable map point.
