Hi everyone,

Here is my problem: I NEED to map a shared folder on a computer that runs XP onto the "i" drive of a machine that only runs DOS.  The two computers are connected VIA ethernet. I type "net use i: \\XPcomputer\sharedfolder at the command prompt of the DOS machine and this SEEMS to work just fine: it says "command completed successfully" and I can see the I drive.  However, when i try to take a look at the I drive on the DOS machine it TELLS me that I:\\ is XPcomputer but typing "dir" doesn't show me any of the files that are in the shared folder and it won't open any of the .ini files that are in the shared directory (it just says "error opening *file*.ini) Any ideas for somethings I can try?

I am only a casual windows user and  KNOW next to nothing about DOS, so any help is really appreciated!

Just FYI: The files are all in the shared directory and are not corrupt, I am using an administrator account on the XP machine and all of my file sharing preferences are set correctly and there doesn't seem to be a problem with the network connection.

Thanks!

TatiNevermind, I got it. For some reason it looks like you need to have "full control" enabled for all users, not just the user account you're logged in under on the host machine.... I'm not sure why this is but it solved the problem.
