RE: mapped drive in W2K Pro.

This may not work in W2K, but this is how it works for me running NT.

In Ops Nav open up NetServer, right click on "Shared Objects", select "New"
from the cascading menu, and then select "File" from the next cascading
menu. 

You'll see a panel that asks you to specify properties for the share.  Give
it any name you want and specify the path as "/" i.e. a forward slash.  The
access mode, number of users, and description are up to you.  Out of
perversity I set up one of these on our development box that allowed only
one user.  I had to change it in response to popular demand. <g> 

I have a drive mapped to the root of our production box and use it all the
time.  I called the share "Root."

We have "Netserver" running and I "ADDED" our AS/400 to "My Network Places".
I just can't "map" a drive to it at the "Top" level.  I can map to a share
under the "Top" level system.  I need it to work at the "Top" level.  Any
ideas?  Thanks again.

I do it all the time.  You need to start the AS400's Netserver, so it 
becomes a true Windows Networking file server.  After that, you should be 
able to find the 400 in "My Network Places | Entire Network".
