Can you clarify which isn't working:

a) a network share mapped to a drive letter, e.g N:\my\network\location
b) network share accessed via \\ e.g. \\server\path\my\network\location

I think a) should always work.

Are you right clicking on a directory and selecting the menu item, or 
right clicking a blank spot in the RH pane? The two result in different 
logic, with the latter having to guess it's a network path. You may be 
able to figure out what's going on by adding a few echos to /bin/xhere


Dave.
