Net use error

[Doug]

I am getting an error message trying to use the following
command
net use lpt3 \\stn_03\invoice3
I get
error 66
Resource type not correct
This is XP going to host Win2K
I use this command on xp machines for over a year and it
has always worked, now all of a sudden today I get this
message. I used the command from Win2k to Win2k
successfully today going to the same host.
Any idea's, thanks for any help on this.

Try using
Net Use LPT3: \\stn_03\invoice3

note the Colon :::: after lpt3

.
I have tried with the colon and without, I have found

that the colon is only needed when using win me or earlier.

Also \\stn_03\invoice3 doesn't sound like a printer ... more a share name of
a folder
i would have expected something more like \\stn_03\HP_LaserJet
sounds like "Resource type not correct" is trying to tell you that also ..
i.e. this ain't a printer
