Pocket PC Forum / Developers / WinCE Programming / February 2010Bad Network Path
Hi, when trying to access a computer on my LAN using "\\<IP address>" I am getting the following error: "Bad Network Path. Check to see if the path you typed is correct and that your dial-up connection is active or your network card is properly inserted." Funny thing is that if I access the same computer using its name (\ \<name>) I can access it. I have included in my image SYSGEN_REDIR through the Catalog. I am using Windows CE 6.0 R3. Pinging the IP address works. What could be the problem? Thanks, Shai Yes, that's the way it works. \\<IP> does not work in Windows CE.

Do you happen to have a pointer to an MSDN article saying this? Though, I believe you :) Shai On Feb 8, 6:06 pm, Paul G.

No. I don't think that the fact is documented anywhere. That's the way it is, though. I've read the code and you can see it always using NetBIOS name resolution on the server name.
