> The URL for SmbNamedPipe() is > smb://SERVERNAME;oms:/passwd@10.1.111.111/IPC$/FAS$ADM I don't think a '/' is allowable in the authentication field of a URL (I could be wrong; Chris?). You could try: smb://SERVERNAME;oms:%2fpasswd@10.1.111.111/IPC$/FAS$ADM and see if URL-encoding the '/' to %2f fixes it. Eric
