I am trying to store the link to our servers on our sharepoint 2013 foundation site but as i enter the hyperlinks on the "LINKS" app on sharepoint, they don't work. i do not even get an error message.

I am using IE 11. Please Let know what needs to be done.

Thanks in advance

A link can't point to a server; it has to point to a share on that server.

Try: file://SERVER-NAME/SHARE-NAME/
