Subj : Re: drive mapping problems To : Darren Gibbs From : Leonard Erickson Date : Thu Jun 08 2000 08:04 pm -=> Quoting Darren Gibbs to Leonard Erickson <=- LE> Login does the following on it's own (no such commands in the login LE> scripts) LE> Search 1 gets mapped to SYS:PUBLIC LE> Search 2 gets mapped to SYS:PUBLIC\\\ DG> That's the default login script runing. I assume you use user login DG> scripts without applying a system {or container, or profile} login DG> script? No user login scripts yet. Not with the trouble I'm having with the system login. LE> And I map several other drives in a batch file after login. LE> The problem is that often, S1 or S2 wind up mapped to the *root* LE> directory.

LE> The error message is "Directory XXXX is not locatable". Huh? DG> Sounds like some form of rights issue - are you certain the users DG> concerned have R & F rights to these directories? It's happening when I log in as *supervisor*! Who has rights to *everything*. I vaguely recall a passing reference to a similar problem in some echo, but that was before I had the problem.

When I open a second DOS LE> window, the search drives aren't mapped as search drives. And trying LE> to change mappings in one DOS window will clobber the mappings in LE> another window. LE> Obviously *something* is wrong. But what? DG> What client revision are you running? The CD says "Novell Client Software (March 1999)". DG> Some of the W95 clients are DG> absolute _dogs_, and have loads of bugs. Have you updated to the DG> latest one? No, I'm having a seperate set of problems with both Netscape and IE. Both see the LAN connection and automatically *assume* that's the Internet connection. They won't *use* the damned modem in the machine. And my only other web access is via Lynx on a shell account. Novell's site is rather messy to navigate using a text mode browser. And there are sections you just plain *can't* access. --- FMailX 1.48a * Origin: Shadowshack (1:105/51) .
