I am trying to open a file on a remote machine on a windows NT network. (The server and the remote machine are both on that NT network).

e.g. fopen("\\155.225.57.20\C$\temp\bg2.gif","r");

However I kept receiving an error message saying that this is an invalid argument, and then I read on the php.faqts knowledgebase that "It is not currently possible to open windows shares with PHP".

Can this be rectified for future php versions?

PHP already can handle UNC patsh (since 4.0.5 iirc), but I think it needs a name, and not an IP Address. Can you check this?
