Via “Computers Near Me”, you have access to all shared resources:
From a Windows95 system in the same workgroup: |
On the Windows95 System: first, the windows for the network Windows2000 System is displayed without any content | |
Then, the Password request for the IPC$ share is display: Reason: When this system was booted up, a Username was entered, which is NOT defined in the Windows2000 User-Manager, so this user has NO permission to access the Windows 2000 system. |
To map a network drive, right-click on the network share-name (NOT on the computer and not on any folder inside the share) and select “Map Network Drive“ | |
Select the drive character to be used, decide on whether to “Reconnect at Logon” | |
The Network-drive in “My Computer“ |
If you selected during the mapping to “Reconnect at logon”, the system sharing the resource should
be running at the next restart / relogon to avoid error messages.
When creating a mapping via a right-click on “My Network Places“ or via the command prompt “NET USE” command, then Windows2000 supports deep-mapping. |
