Network Neighborhood is the central point for browsing in Windows 95. It offers the following benefits:
In any situation in which you can type a path name for connecting to a server — such as in the Map Network Drive dialog box or at the command prompt — you can specify the server name with two backslashes (\\) if your network uses UNC path names. For example, to connect to the server CORP, volume DOCS, directory WORD, and subdirectory Q1, type the UNC name \\corp\docs\word\q1.
On NetWare networks, you can use the UNC name or standard NetWare syntax. For the previous example, you would type corp/docs:word\q1. (Notice that, in the NetWare environment, "/" and "\" are interchangeable.) However, Windows 95 does not support the NetWare 4.0 naming convention of \\\nwserver_sys\directory_path\filename.ext where \\\nwserver_sys is the name of the NetWare Directory Services (NDS) server volume object.
