That explains what I observe.  Thank you.  I cannot browse 
\\afs\stradamotorsports.com.  I get this error:

	"Windows cannot find '\\afs\stradamotorsports.com'.  Check the spelling 
and try again.

Strangely enough, 'NET USE' reports:

  C:\Documents and Settings\jcw>net use
  New connections will be remembered.

  OK                     \\afs\all                 Microsoft Windows Network
  OK                     \\afs\stradamotorsports.com
                                                   Microsoft Windows Network
  OK                     \\afs\IPC$                Microsoft Windows Network
  The command completed successfully.

  C:\Documents and Settings\jcw>

This shows the long name.

\\afs\all works as expected.

Thanks,
