Re: Mapping Network drives

[Thomas Garvey <tgarvey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,

Do you know who you are on this forum?
You're the guy that brings more than hesitation to everyone just before 
they post a request for some help. You're the one that makes posters 
think: I wonder if Rob Berendt will disparage me for this question, 
because he knows everything and his every response just drips of that 
arrogance.
You know NOTHING of the circumstance behind this particular request for 
advice, nor whether the details given are comprehensive. I won't bother 
with explaining the situation because it would only encourage you to 
respond further.
I may be mistaken but it's possible you are the director of this forum. 
If you are, I can't imagine how you were selected for that role, unless 
you're the only guy who had nothing else to do and had the biggest chip 
on your shoulder.
I've had it with your particular grade of omniscience. I'm sure your 
response will be good riddance but I won't be back again, and would 
discourage anyone else from participating as well. I'll just suggest 
looking in mid-range archives, but don't read anything posted by Rob 
Berendt, or post anything unless they want the wicked witch of the forum 
to respond.

You have to define it. A popular way to look for shares is using http://youribmi:2001 and looking at IFS and shares.  For the GUI phobic there may be some way to use GO NETS.
