Network drives not available on Database Maintenance

I am trying to establish a Database Maintenance plan for our SQL server and when I choose
Database Maintenance Plan
Complete Backup Tab
Under choose directory when I choose the (...) icon to choose a directory only the C and D drive of the server appears, I do not see the network drives.
I resolved this in the past but forgot how to.
Thanks
Jeffrey
What I used to do in 6.5 was run a scheduled task that had the ID that SQL was running under to map the network drive. I have not had a need to try this in 2k but it is worth a shot.

|||Not too sure if you can do this on Database Maintenance Plans
Put you can create a Backup device pointing to a Network drive and create
backup jobs to that network device(s)

has permissions to that share.
