Re: How to read the server host name from a mapped network drive?

- given a drive letter from an user input, the web-application should
map the drive letter (let's say S:\) to a servername (e.g \\S014547) or
map the drive letter to the IP address of the server.

If you know, or can find out, how to get that information out of Windows using
command-line programs (maybe net.exe can tell you it), then you could execute
that command as an external process (Runtime.exec() and its more advanced
friends) and parse the results in Java.
