[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] LASTDRIVE variable & PC/NFS

housed@infmx.informix.com (Darryl House) (12/13/90)

I am trying to get PC/NFS to relate to the Novell net, and have run into
a difference between PC/NFS and FTP-TCP that I can't resolve. When I tell
Novell to connect to a machine running FTP-TCP, it grabs the next available
drive letter, using the lastdrive variable from DOS (regardless of whether
that letter is being used for an NFS mount, but that's OK). When I tell it
to connect to a machine running PC/NFS, the last drive is always listed as
"v", regardless of the setting of the lastdrive variable, or the number of
mount points on the machine. This is unacceptable, and I can find no
configuration parameter to change. If you can help, please do!!!!

Thank you very much for your consideration!
