If you can reach the machine where your table resides, you can either use the machine name or it's IP address, but you HAVE to enable some sharing in the directory where the table resides.
For instance, if you share your drive c, share name C-DRIVE, you could do something like this:
use \\192.168.154.3\C-DRIVE\mytable.dbf
or use \\192.168.154.3\C-DRIVE\myapp\mytable.dbf
