Thanks for the response. It was the URL that was working though. I could
not get into the domain through the Network icons in Win Expl.

I did a scandisk on the server drives and the problem is gone. Not sure
if
and why that fixed it but the problem is gone.

I can't say for sure that this will fix the problem but assuming the
server
has a static IP try specifying it's IP in the path as in
\\xxx\xxx\xxx\xxx\sharename.

I have a backup operator login on the server that I have been using to
run
a
Windows XP backup job with. It backs up the Outlook files to the
server.
The server backup operator login is a part of the workstation backup
operators group.

I am trying to schedule jobs on other computers now.

When I try to schedule a backup job and it asks for a location I cannot
navigate through Network Places to the domain (somenameverylong.com).
The
domain name is >15 chars so it gets truncated to the first 15 chars
(somenameverylon). It says the domain is not accessible.

The backup program says that the domain is not available, yet, I can
use
the
Windows Explorers to navigate to shares in the domain
\\server\sharename.

Why is this happening and how can I fix things.
