Hi all. I want to map a drive letter from one system to
another using peer to peer TCP/IP using the DOS command
line. What is the syntax?

I tried Net Use Z:\\computername\drivename but it didn't
work.

TIA

Robert
 
Robert,
First, can you map the drive or even see the destination using Windows
Explorer? If not then you may need to check exactly what sharing is enabled
on the target computer.
If you can perform the mapping using Windows Explorer then you might need
this version:
net use Z: "\\Computer Name\Share Name"
if the path has spaces in it.
Some of the examples in the XP Help system show a space after the colon,
others don't. I would expect to see a space.
