\\<server name>
Where <transport> is the Windows NT transport device name, and
<domain> is the domain in which the master browser is located, and
<server name> is the computer name of the master browser.
To check which transport use the command:

The session-layer network services are NetBT for NetBIOS over TCP/IP, NwlnkNb for IPX, or Nbf for NetBEUI, e.g. NetBT_Tcpip.
