<<Using the file manager I can setup network drive connections without selecting a drive-letter (ie. using the last item on the list (none) ) [This is what I have been looking for 🙂 ] Problem: File manager seems to establish the connection but does not provide me with a browse window for the connection just established. I cannot see how to access these UNC connections to browse them with file manager. The drive combo-box does not show these driveless UNC connections, however the disconnect does show them. ???>> Jim, you can browse the connection from a command line by issuing a "dir \\machine name\share point". Your connection is established, however file manager represents the net address of the connection by a drive letter. Since the drive letter does not exist, browsing would require you to supply the UNC name. Also since the connection exists, file manager is capable of disconnecting the connection.
