Network Drive Mapping

Jan 22, 2009 1:06AM PST

Ok, went to computer/map network drive....

Pickedup the Drive letter on the network,

why can't i just map the entire drive? Why do i have to pick server/shares?

No matter what i do it will not map anything.

Finally got it to work. The network drive doesn't show up as "g:" "f:" etc. It shows up as an actual computer, you have to drop down to the sys folder and map it, then label it what you were used to. At least thast how i got around it.

So far I went from xp to 7 in one day with full work network compatability.
