RE: How to map a network drive

Is the iSeries running Netserver?  If not, you cannot access the IFS
with Windows Explorer or map a drive to it.  You can access with OpsNav
or via green screen with wrklnk but not with any MS software.

That didn't work, either.

Try mapping via IP address.

If it works you've got a DNS/WINS problem.

How to map a network drive.

Lately it seems I am getting nothing but simple questions that I 
can't answer.  I looked through the archives but couldn't find 
anything that I understood.

I am connecting to a System i over the Internet with vpn.  I would 
like to map a drive to the ifs.  I've tried "Map a network drive" 
with MS Explore -> Tools -> Map a network drive and couldn't make it 
work.  I tried Ops Navigator and couldn't find a way to map a drive.

Of course this is simple but I can't figure it out.
