Can't log to \\live.sysinternals.com\

[GregH]

I'm following along with How-to-Geek's series on using Sysinternals and they mentioned jumping out to the server share at \\live.sysinternals.com\. I already have most of the tools I use loaded but for fun I tried to log to the share. From within XYplorer 13.80.0100 I receive a notice that "Location currently not available." However, if I run the command from within Windows Explorer it is successful in making the connection.
Is there a trick to entering the command in XY or is there a setting I need to make to allow such a connection? (I have white-listed xyplorer.exe and xycopy.com in firewall and anti-virus.)

Thanks,
Greg

P.S. The more I dig into XYplorer the more there is to learn. Incredible!

Not supported. This is just a simple file system explorer.

From XYplorer tree, right click "Computer", choose "Map network drive..." In the opened dialog, select a drive, then enter the server address.
Then in XYplorer, go to that drive and browse the location. Yes, this is not as native as Windows Explorer does it, but the end result is more or less the same, in fact better because you're browsing in XYplorer.
