how to map drive on different network

[hamayun]

Hi ,

i want to map a drive available on totally different
network computer. i know, within any network we
use "\\IP_address\share" but if the 2 computers are on
totally different network, then it doesnt work.

Any idea, how to make it working ?

Thanks

Can you ping the resource by name? By 'different network' do you mean
different domain?

net use x: \\computername\sharename /user:computernameOrDomainname\username

Hi,

i can ping the resource(other computer) by IP not by name.

suppose my computer is connected to internet using
ISP "A" and another computer is connected to internet
using ISP "B". Now in such case, how will i map my drive
to another computer. The command you have provided above
works only within same network.


please help.

Well, yes, of course you have to have some sort of network connectivity
between the computers in order to do anything with the resources on them...I
presumed that's what you meant. You may want to look into VPN.
