Dreamweaver CS3 issue

New to Mac

[SEOMike]

I haven't had a Mac for long so I haven't figured out everything yet. I'm having a problem in Dreamweaver when trying to preview a page that's located my my fileserver. I get a 404 when I try to preview through DW. If I navigate to the page through the network drive on the desktop I can view the file just fine. Strange thing is that I get two different paths in the browser depending on the way I go.

I've mapped the network drive to the Mac and when I go through the drive on the desktop to preview the file the page works at this address:
file:///Volumes/[SERVER NAME]/folder/folder/page.html
(note that this method doesn't define the actual drive on the server. There are 5 drives on this server. I guess because I mapped this drive, it doesn't need to know which drive I'm referring to? If so, how can it call the server name and not have the drive referenced in the path?)

When I click "preview in browser" in DW I get a 404 and the following path:
file:///[DRIVE NAME]/folder/folder/page.html.

The "preview in browser" page is missing "Volumes" and is changing out the server name for the name of the actual drive on the server. The path that works doesn't define the drive on the server! What the heck is going on? How can I make Dreamweaver refer to this strange path that logically shouldn't work because it skips a step?

Mike,

In Preferences > Preview in Browser is the box checked next to Options?

If so uncheck it. I think that may be the problem...
