Mapped drive disconnecting upon reboot

[Jason Coleman]

Hello,

I have a client on WIN2k Pro connecting to a WIN2k server
via a VPN connection. I can always get to the share but
the mapped drive consistently drops upon reboot. I had
located a net use command that I will paste in but can't
make sense of the syntax. How exactly should the command
be typed in without the brackets and clutter.

Thanks in Advance,

Jason

NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume]
[password | *]]
[/USER domainname\]username]
[/USER dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

Assuming the server name is S, the share name is N
and the drive letter you want to use is L, then use:

net use L \\S\N /persisent:yes /yes

Make the appropriate adjustments for your name.

Note that the connection will try to restore as soon as
you login. If you don't use the VPN as your login connection,
you will get an error that won't clear until the VPN is up.

I tried this with some hints of success but now I get an
system error 53 the network path cannot be found. Any
ideas?

Thanks,

Jason
