A user is attempting to open a Microsoft Word document Phonelist.doc by using Internet Explorer. However, when he types http://Server1/Files/Phonelist.doc into the address bar in Internet Explorer, he receives the following error message: “404: Page not found.”. You verify that Phonelist.doc exists in a shared folder named Files on Server1. You need to ensure that user can access Phonelist.doc by using Internet Explorer. What should you do?
The error message 404 indicates that the Web page cannot be located at the URL address specified by the user. This is because the user specified a Web server address, which is denoted by http:// in the URL. He should use file:// in the URL to specify a file server. The correct URL for opening the file with a Web browser in this scenario is file://server1/File/Phonelist.doc.
