You should append something to the beginning of your 2 slashes - for
example:

file://dvd-tower/blah.html

or

http://dvd-tower/blah.html

Also, creating a CF mapping will do 0 for this problem.  CF mappings are
designed for use  withing the CF code - for <cfinclude> for example.
Placing code inside a dir that has a cf mapping does not make it resovable
via your web server - it only makes it available to your CF code. It's often
use to group functional code, or to host CF code outside the web root.

I'm new at this, but here's a problem I don't understand.

I'm working on an intranet site.  We have a CD tower with some discs with
training programs on them.

In our old HTML based intranet, we could just drop a relative path into an
HREF link to call something on the tower (eg. //dvd-tower/).

However, that's not working with CF, which adds the fully qualified intranet
(eg. http://intranet/\\dvd-tower\somedirectory\somepage.html) to the
request.

I've tried creating a CF mapping, but it doesn't have any effect on the
results.  What am I doing wrong?
