Are you trying to map a drive on the SQL Server box? If so, you need to
share the drive from the server to make it available to users on the
network.
SQL Server does not provide access to its data using file access (like
you used to do with dBase). It uses a network protocol like TCP/IP or
Named Pipes. The server listens on a specific TCP/IP port or a Named
Pipe "Pipe" and routes calls to the SQL Server service.
