DOS to Windows NT - Urgent (please)

[PetitPal]

OK, heres a weird one,

I need to map a hard drive on a DOS machine to a Windows NT Server machine (so that the server can see and access data on the DOS machine's hard drive).

Someone has said that you need to use netlogon and then netuse but I have no idea on the format of these commands to do what I need.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

First the DOS machine needs the DOS Client from the NT Server CD to be loaded.

If you have this installed and configured correctly (see readme.txt with the client files) then

(can not remember exactly about this bit) - typing net logon will prompt for the user name and password.

to map drives :

net use <drive>: \\<server>\directory

eg. net use g: \\bulldog\workfiles

Sorry ignore my last post, re-read your question and found I got the wrong idea, my answer will not help, apart from the net use command.

You need to first make dos share it's files. Not sure how this is done, but there may be a net share command once the client is loaded. Not something I have looked at.

If all you want is to access the files on the dos machine, you could take out the hard drive and put it into a windows machine as a second drive. That way you can share the drive using windows.

Hi,

kinda worked it out now, you need to use the 'net logon' command first to init. the network and then use the 'net share <share name>=<drive>' to set-up your drive as shared from the dos machine and then, finally (!), use the 'net use \\<computer>\<share name> <drive>' command from your server to set up the share. Which is nice.
