You need to use the IP address of the network drive in the URL. For example, http://ipaddress/webpages/index.htm
Alternatively, if your network drive is not set up for TCP/IP, then you can just type the location. For example,
f:\webpages\default.htm
Note: Forward slashes used in first example whereas back slashes used in second.
