Subject: [PCTECH] Mapping an iSeries drive from XP





I think this is probably more PC related than midrange so I'm posting
here instead of midrange.com.  I'm in the process of setting up a new
laptop running Windows XP.  I've got almost everything ready but I'm
having trouble mapping drives to our 570 and 270 boxes.  I've never had
any problems doing this under Windows 2000 but this is my first XP work
PC with client/access.

I open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, then Map Network Drive.  I then
select the drive letter and for the folder I put \\system-name\Root and
click "finish".  It takes a few seconds telling me that it's attempting
to connect.  I'm then given a "connect to system-name" dialog box.  It
asks for my user name and password.  I enter my AS/400 user-id and
password.
Both boxes are blank before I enter anything but when I press the enter
key it immediately comes back with the same dialog box but this time my
user-id is prefixed with our domain name and a backslash.  Any ideas?
