Yes, that does work, but when the Windows 2000 machine starts it can not
access the share, no internet connection yet. If I leave the mapping
persistent, I still seem to have to specifically enter username and password
to get access to the shared location after every time the PC has been
re-started.
Any more ideas?
Thanks
Dave
