net use [DriveLetter] \\Computername\ShareName
DriveLetter = D: E: F: Whatever you have available. Please omit the brackets when defining the driveletter
Thats It.....
Of course, in a NetWare environment its:
map [DriveLetter]:=[server]/[volume]:[path]
Some parameters:
map next
will automatically take the next available network drive letter.
map root
will map the entire path so that it looks like the path specified is the root of the drive.
You can also map search drives, which act like a path statement. The order the drives are searched are from S1: to S16:. Instead of mapping a drive letter, you'd enter:
map s16:=
Or you can insert into the middle of the search path with:
map ins s5:=
