>Good stuff, John. In your KB, I would also mention security: for this to work from a 95/98 machine, the user logged in to the machine has to have a valid account with rights on the remote server. AFAIK, there is no way to code a username and password when mapping drives this way.
Actually, you are right. Using NT or W2K you can use the net use command from a cmd prompt as in:
Net use j: /delete /y
net use j: \\111.111.111.111\d$ /user:yourname yourpassword
This works fine but in '95/'98 it won't because their net use command doesn't support that. The workaround is to log in to the '95/'98 machine with the same username and password that exist on the NT Server.
I'll add this to the KB. Thanks for the reminder.
