Cannot add raster data from UNC path with dot

[curtvprice]

I can add feature data from this path (ArcMap 9.4b2 / 2307)

\\.host\Shared Folders\E_DRIVE\gisdata\sd\bhhs_study.shp

and a file raster

\\.host\Shared Folders\E_DRIVE\gisdata\sd\earthsat.jp2

But not a grid (I'm assuming the dot in the path is the problem?)

\\.host\Shared Folders\E_DRIVE\gisdata\sd\topo\ned90f

I can load this fine mapped and connected to:

E:\gisdata\sd\topo\ned90f

The popup error is:
Raster Data Objects Error
Invalid raster dataset. Filed to create raster layer.
