Is Netscape UNC capable?

by mitchberger . Updated 25 years, 7 months ago

We are using HTML for links to web pages, documents, and directories in a Windows NT environment NOT through the use of an internet server. All links use UNC coding to overcome drive mapping differences on user’s workstations. The problem occurs when we follow a link from a directory list.

Following a link to a directory displays the contents of the directory whether we use Navigator or Explorer. Clicking on a file name in the directory list only works with Explorer. Navigator returns an error “unable to locate server”.

It seems that Navigator does not recognize the double-slash prefix that identifies the server name in UNC coded addresses.

We are running Netscape 4.08. Is there some option, upgrade, or other solution to this problem?
