I've finished loading up the latest IPX and NETx files onto my network and now I'm wondering just how this map root feature works. I am running: Novell Advanced Netware 2.15c IPX.COM rev. 3.01b NET3.com rev. E (also XMSNET3.COM rev. E) I got a copy of the latest improved utilities for the PUBLIC directory, so I think I have the right version of MAP. Mainly I want to use this feature because of a need to run MS Windows 3.0 off the server, and I'd heard that one could sort-of solve the file manager network drive nightmare this way. -- "make lots of money", "enjoy the work", "operate within the law": choose 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Anderson | "It's hard to work in a group when you're castillo@media-lab.media.mit.edu | omnipotent." - Q, ST-thg "Deja-Q"

The syntax is MAP ROOT X:=FSname/VOLname:DIRname\SUBdirname > MS Windows works well in a Novell environment, provided you tell it you are in a NW environment during setup. That's a whole discussion itself tho.
