Peter, >> Jim, you can browse the connection from a command line by issuing a "dir >> \\machine name\share point". Your connection is established, however file This is supported since 3COM LM 1.0, but that's NOT what want it. What does NT offer me that's new 🙂 >> manager represents the net address of the connection by a drive letter. >> Since the drive letter does not exist, browsing would require you to supply >> the UNC name. Also since the connection exists, file manager is capable of >> disconnecting the connection. Sorry, but I am not understanding this, I am supplying filemgr with the UNC name except it does NOT give me a window to browse the UNC connection and launch things? (I don't care to see some sort of icons on the drive toolbar for driveless connections, selecting from the list-box is fine provided they show up as they do in the disconnect list.) So, why does file-manager let me set a driveless connection? Is it just so that I can issue a command-line "dir \\server\share" I can already do this without the need of file-manager. Is this absurd or what? Thank you for clarifying this. Hewlett-Packard Cardiology Business Unit 1700 South Baker St., Mc-Minnville, OR 97128 503-434-8434 There is 1 Reply.
