Instead of

Do:
> 192.168.0.3:/mnt/sda1
The path-resolution rules apply unchanged after the ':'
Do:
man path_resolution 


'Michaels-Laptop' will only resolve in 'Michaels-Laptop', unless you add 
that name/IP combo to some sort of name-resolution system (bind, /etc/hosts, 
many options to choose from) 

localhost (or 127.0.0.1) will resolve to 'this machine' (when properly 
configured, which is the case in most Linux installations if not all of 
them) 

Don't shot yourself on the foot.
Again...
