Net Use command

[Dean]

I have an actual folder under a shared folder and I use
the follwoing commpand in the login script:
Net Use * \\Server\Public\Vol2

it works and randomly selects a drive letter. But when I
try to specify a letter to map it to (ex: Net Use g:
\\Server\Public\Vol2) it doesn't work and gives me an
error. The vol2 directory is not shared but the parent
directory Public is shared. How can I map to a directory
that is not specifically shared beneath a share and
specify a drive letter?

What's the error? As long as G isn't in use, you should be able to map to a
sub-directory in a share just fine, as long as you're not trying to do this
on an NT machine.

Really? Is that what it says? It says, verbatim: error 50 - couldn't map
drive. That's different.

Now, what does it really say?
