hi,
i wonder if it is possible to link to a network folder.
i will try to explain 
our webserver got a IP 123.12.123.1 (for example) there is the moodle running.
we got another server (fileserver) to store a large amount of data, this server is in the same network 123.12.123.2
so is there a way to map this network drives using the ip or something.
hope you understand

Harald, in the data server there is an http or ftp service running?
Both cases are not a mapped network drive, but it s quite similar from the user perspective. Both cases exposes your data to all users that can reach the data server.
hi andrea,
no, i did not mean either a ftp nor a http connection,
it is just a windows network,
i just got the ideal because in PHProjekt (a opensource groupware) it is possible to creat "links"
from the help file of phproject:
Creating a link is a little bit different. In the field "Name" type the name of the link to display in the list. In the field "name and network path" type the address, other computers in the network have to use connecting the file via browser.
Example for MS-Windows network:
computername/sharename/foldername/filename.ext
Computername can also be an IP-adress. For Windows network shares, folders are required. Make sure that the share grants read access to all concerned people. Foldernames are used, if the file is not located in the shared folder "sharename" but in a subfolder "foldername" below. Since regular compuers sharing data on a LAN are not http servers, PHProjekt will add the prefix "file:/" to your entry.
ok for those who are interessted in
if i link a ressource like this
file://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/home/username/anyfile.zip
i am able to link to network ressource
only problem, moodle (better IE) dont ask me if i want to download or open the file
