backup of database problem

i'm trying to backup a database on sql2000.
i go right click on the database, all tasks, backup database, and when i
want to add a location, it only gives me the directories of the server(our
file server) where the databases reside on.
how can i change my location ?
looking in my computer it has a mapped drive that i want to use, but it
keeps showing me the file server, and i want to backup it on another server.
any help will be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

ons on the share.
