Link to a LAN Folder

So I've got this small lil network setup and I'm making some notes on my media server that I wanna link to on a page I plan on running off of my laptop.  So I've tried the simple cut and paste address from the windows explorer to try and get the link to folder on the other media server to work on the page I'm running off of my laptop.  Any suggestions as to how one could go about doing that?

I'm assuming you are using windows

 

You should be able to do:

<a href="\\computer_name\folder-alias\">Folder name</a>

 

Note: folder-alias is the share name you setup when you enabled the Share this folder on the network option in the Sharing tab for the folder you want to access over the network.

Yeah I tried that one already.  I don't know if it's the fact that I am coding this and saving it as a php file or if it's because I am using firefox to view it.  I found one article that showed you how to enable firefox to work around that, but I followed the instructions note for note and it did not resolve a single issue.  Oh well, worst case scenario I just import a copy of it to the working directory the project I am working on and just deal with it.
