You can use the NET USE command but you have to either ensure that the NetWare username and password is synchronised with the Windows 2000 username and password, or you have to get the command to prompt.
The following command will prompt for the password:
NET USE T: \\W2KSERV\SHARE /USER:%USER% *
The %USER% will use the current username (same as NetWare) and the * will force a password prompt.
What errors were you getting?

ok, I tried this line and did not get a prompt.
I added the # at the beginning of the line and this allowed the prompt to come up. I entered my password and the pop up screen disappeared and then when i checked the mapping the drive was not there.
I am assuming the user variable is the novell login name and not nt 2nd login on workstation?
Another question is it possiable to make a permament name and password for this map so the user does not get this screen? The mapping is to a win2000 server share dir. that is for a database only?
Thanks again!

If the database is an SQL database, you should not need a drive mapping, just an SQL connection via the Data Sources option under Control Panel.
To use a standard user account, use the following method (if you are including it in a login script, you will need the preceeding #)
#net use t: \\w2kserv\share /user:dbuser password
where t: is the drive letter, w2kserv is the server name, share is the name of the share, dbuser is your username and password is your password. If you do not want to give the account a password, exclude this from the command.
Best thing is to try the command from a DOS prompt before putting it into the login script (without the #). Then you can check for errors.

Ok, changed the cmd line to include user account and password. Screen flashed durng login and seems it went well.
But the mapping of the drive did not appear in listing of mapped drives. I went to my network places and the win 2000 share folder was there and I selected the folder and was not prompted for login. So Iam assuming that I was authenicated during login but the mapping did not appear.
This almost works. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again your the man!!
