Nope. A UNC is formed in the template:
\\<Server Name>\<Share Name>
Server name and share name cannot contain either : or \ characters. It's strongly suggested that the Server Name (AKA Machine Name) and Share Name use no more than 15 characters with no delimiter characters, and if Win16 compatibility is an issue, 8 characters.
