Question

How are paths determined on a remote machines?
I have been assigned a network loaction.  Let's call it \\wassup\test1
I assume that wassup is the name of the computer.  The question I have is this.  How can I determine what the local path from the point of view of the remote machine would be for "test1".  For example, how would I know if it is c:\test1 or d:\test1 ?
