restoring from network drive

Ok -I'm drawing a huge blank.
After a new install of SQL2K and SP3a, I'm unable to restore a backup from a
network drive.
SQL services are logging on with a domain account
The SQL service account has also been granted Local admin access on the PC
When trying to restore a database from Device, the only drive listed is the
local C: drive - none of the mapped drives are available.

Try entering a UNC name for the name of the backup, something like:
\\backupserver\sharename\backup\database.bak
Also note the MSSQLSERVER service account will need access to the network
share.
