This is one regex that is limited to your provided exampel

\\\\\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\\\w+\\\w+\.\w+

And this is a slightly more generic one, if the server name can be other than an IP address.

\\\\[\w\d.]+\\\w+\\\w+\.\w+

I recommend to get a tool for testing regular expressions, such as
RegExTest[^]
or
Visual Regexp[^]
