Hello everyone.

First I mapped a network drive on Ignition server in our plant. The Server path is as follows. \*\* \\10.xx.x.xxx\folder\folder\folder2\*\* and I gave it the Letter M.

I followed the guide in the Ignition forum on how to map network drives and I want to verify that I've done it correctly please.

```auto
# Drive Information
wrapper.share.1.location=\\10.xx.x.xxx\folder\folder\folder2\
wrapper.share.1.target=M:
wrapper.share.1.type=DISK

# User Information To Login To Network Drive
wrapper.ntservice.account=na\user
wrapper.ntservice.password=Reallystrongpassword
wrapper.share.1.account=na\user
wrapper.share.1.password=Reallystrongpassword

#How Often To Retry Server Connection
wrapper.share.1.startup.max_retries=2

# What Interval (Seconds) Between Retries:
wrapper.share.1.startup.retry_interval=10

```

My insecurity stems from **wrapper.share.1.location =\10.xx.x.xxx** as  
I have not seen anyone on the forums use an IP address.  
Everyone I've seen is using **wrapper.share.1.location\folder\folder\folder2**  
They seem to omit the IP address.

Am I keeping the IP in the wrapper or removing it?
