Access server's dir from CMD command prompt

[Jenny Kurniawan]

How do you access server's directory from CMD command prompt?
Here are the details:
Server: Windows NT
Workstation: XP Home

When I typed 'cd \\server1' on the command prompt in my XP wkst,
the following message is returned: CMD does not support UNC paths as current
directories.

Is this a limitation in XP Home?

but
dir \\servername\sharename

will work. C$ is always shared for admins.

So

dir \\servername\c$

Try mapping a drive.
