Hi, Sorry I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do? You say you don't want to use drive mappings but the net use command is used for that purpose.

Her is what I have done so far. I have assigned all my machines their own internal IP's on the router. I started with hour lazor printer and hour inkjet printers on 02 and 03 respectively. Now what I want to do is to use net use to connect the different drives but I need some good exmples on how to do this as I don't remember how. I also no that I can put the commands in a batch file to run at startup to not have to reconnect them all the time but need examples for that as well. If anyon has any better suggestions I am all ears. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins
