Hi Im trying to map to another computer in our home network but every time it trys to connect using \\ipaddress\c$ at the run prompt, it accesses fine until I need to type in a user name and password….is this a user name and password of the computer or network? The computer does not require a password at start up. Need help on this thanks.

Hi I was wondering how can you delete a network password? I am trying to reconnect to our network but cannot seem to remember the user and password information.

Thanks

You should also mention adding the /persistant to the command line for it to stay mapped even after reboot.

Quick question though: I have had issues at a few clients offices that the computer will not automatically reconnect to the mapped network drive at boot time. Opening ‘My Computer’ and double clicking the drive (which has a red x) aparently restarts the connection and there are no issues until reboot again. I have scoured the ‘net for a resolution to this problem, and have found only other users that have the same problem. Just thought I’d ask if you guys had any clue as to a specific cause or solution for this issue… thanks in advance.

Tried the above but the drive letter I want to share isn’t there!!

I’m on a vista PC with an external HDD attached and I weant to make that HDD available to the other PC’s on our home network which both run XP. I’ve shared the HDD and both of the other PC’s can see the drive on the network but they get an error message about not having permission to access it. Both can see and access the internal HDD’s I’ve shared…anyone any idea?

Can anyone tell me what the name of the file in WindowsNT that contains which drives you are mapped to?

I am trying to find this file for someone but don’t know the name and can’t seem to find it

thanks
