Can't Map Shared Folders in Win2K

[Guest]

I cannot map shared folders in my Win2K computer. I am using the proper
\\computername\share format in Windows Explorer and also have tried using the
NET USE from the Command line. It always reports that the network path could
not be found. The shared directory is definitely there and the computer name
is correct. Any ideas why I cannot assign drive letters to the shared
directories?

Are you sure the 2 computers can reach each other? Have you enabled NetBIOS
over TCP/IP?

I am trying to map a folder on my local computer to a drive letter. The
folder is not on another computer. Also, I do have NetBIOS enabled over
TCP/IP.

Any Ideas?

Enable file and print sharing, Share the drive, map the drive.

Are you sure that you're using the correct format? This works for me,
although I do not have NetBIOS or File Sharing enabled

net use Z: \\MyMachine\D$\Folder

The folder I'm mapping to is on drive D. D$ is the automatic hidden share
created by Windows.

Is the Server service running?

For your local computer, you could try using the SUBST command instead.
