No,
The UNC path is the name of the server. Eg. If I named my Server FileShare1 my unc path is (not case sensitive) : \\FileShare1
tek is the name of your domain. you will need to ask IT what the server name is and maybe get the full path as T: is just a letter to mask \\servername\folder1 etc.
Hello, still no luck where are these logs that I can provide?

Have you tried using for full UNC path?
\\<servername>\Dispatch\1. DISPATCH\2. REPORTS\Pipe and Completed Loads Report 2018.xlsx

GREAT GUYS ONE STEP CLOSER. It shows my gateway and file are connected but when I try to connect the data set It shows I dont have any gateways configured.
