Why can't I map a drive via its IP address?

A. When you try to map a drive via an IP address, you might receive the following error message:

System error 53 has occurred.<br>

This error occurs when you try to map a drive to a server running one of the following applications:

To resolve this problem, use the server's NetBIOS name to map the drive:

Start Windows Explorer.
From the Tools menu, select Map Network Drive.
In the Drive box, click the drive letter you want to use.
In the Folder box, type
```
\\\[server\]\\[share\]<br>
```
where \[server\] is the NetBIOS name of the server to which you want to connect and \[share\] is the name of a shared folder on that server.
Click Finish.
