Do not use the backslash in the local name. This is an invalid character for a file/folder name and causes all sorts of confusion. As a test, I mapped a shared folder with the backslash in the local name. YIKES - not a good idea. GSFinder should not allow this character to be used in the local name. I consider this to be a bug.

There are more slashes here than you need. The 'syntax' for mapping a windows share is \\ServerName\ShareName (note 2 backslashes before the ServerName, single backslash before the ShareName and no slash after the share name).

Go to File > Tools > Network Disconnect and disconnect everything that has a backslash in the local name. Soft reset, then re-setup your connections using the '\\Server\Share' syntax, and and underscore instead of the backslash in the local name. So you will have:
Remote Path: \\P3200\C
Local Name: P3200_C

I'd also like to point out that these connections will re-establish themselves after a soft reset as long as you don't disconnect them. They will show up as empty folders when your wi-fi is off, and will be usable when you connect to the network.
