Remember that you're using Windows to access a remote share using
Windows file sharing.  That means you need to use a UNC path to access
the share, and a UNC path begins with either \\ or //.  What you
attempted above wouldn't even work if the system at 172.20.10.65 was a
Windows system instead of a Mac. ;-)
