Re: Mapping IFS to a PC Drive.

[Philipp Rusch <Philipp.Rusch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"Very easy":
you use wrklnk, go to /QNTC and create a directory with the name of
that pc under that directory like: /QNTC/MYPC/ ....
after a while (sometimes as long as 15 minutes, windows network is slow)
you should see the shares, that this machine is announcing to the network.
Of course you should define a shared directory on that machine before.
Usernames MUST match, passwords not always, but if you want to automate
things, they should match, too
Be sure to use resource names no longer than 12 characters, there is still an
old fashioned limitation in netbios, same applies to usernames (better: 10 
chars)
and passwords fro compatibility with the AS/400 conventions.

HTH, regards from Germany, Philipp Rusch
