I know very little about Windows network addresses, but from the example you gave, I'd check to
see if (slash-delimited) item 1 of the path is a single letter followed by a colon.

This question may have an obvious answer, but I am brain dead today, so here
goes:
I have a app installed with some customers in a Windows network environment. They have all
their laptops set so that their Home directories are on a local network server.
So, where as on a local laptop, specialFolderPath("documents") might return
"C:/Users/<username>/Documents" as the path, for them specialFolderPath("documents") returns
something like "//s1.somedomain.com/mountPoint/<username>/Documents"
We save a number of folders and files in the user's Documents folder. In some cases, if the
file is not present (i.e. if there is a file tFile is false) we regenerate the file from a
default.
Sometime, the server is offline or the user is disconnected from the network.
What is a good way to differentiate between:
1) one of these files is not present so must be regenerated, i.e
if there is not a file (specialFolderPath("documents")&slash&tFilename) then
-- regenerate the file tFile at location specialFolderPath("documents")
Versus
2) The Server (//s1.somedomain.com/ is disconnected to down?
So that in case (1) , we regenerate the file and in case (2) we present a warning that the
server is disconnected or down?
Mu gut says this should be simple, but I just can not wrap my brain around it
today.
