I just recently installed SQL Server 2000 on a machine with with W2K Advanced Server. I can only back up to a tape,CD, or the hard drive. It will not let me browse for a network folder in order to back up there. I have even tried to type in a address and it will not let me. I know this has to be a simple setting that I have wrong but I can't find it.
 
It should work if you use the following to identify your backup file

\\servername\sharename\file.BAK
