I have a Win2k domain with Win98 computers as clients. I've mapped one drive on the server to all the clients on the network. However, I can not mapped a second. I followed the exact same steps as the first, but I keep getting the error message on the clients, "Can not find network path" or words to that effect. Could someone tell me what the possible problem or solution might be?

Thanks

Is the folder shared that you want to map to?
I know it is a foolish question, but I have tried and forgot to share and assign the right permissions once, and even mispelled persistent I kept putting an A in instead of an E and must have redone the mapping five times before I noticed.
 
The folder is shared. But what do you mean by persistent?
 
make sure you don't have a "3-tiered" share, as Win98 won't handle this. For example, it's OK to map 98 to \\server\sharename , but it's not OK to try and map \\server\sharename\directory.
