Attaching a file from Network Location

I have a backup on a server and I have a VM with SQL on it. Because my VM has limited space on it (99gb), my backup is 17gb expands to over 55gb.I have instances where I want to restore single rows from tables with a backup (from say, 2 days ago). I have a mapped drive S: where the backups are or I have a 192.168.xx.xx network address.I dont have enough room to copy 17gb to the VM and restore it, so can I attach the backup from a network location and get the data I want????
