Win98 client mapping to win nt4 shares

[axsom1]

I have some windows 98 machines that I want to have map to a few shared folders.

I would like to map them to a subfolder directly, but no matter what it only maps to the root folder.

e.g \\server\share\folder will map to \\server\share.

Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks,
John Axsom

is \\server\share\folder being shared? i guess u need to share that particular folder and \\server\folder oinstead of via the \\server\share\folder.

You can only map to a folder that is shared on the server and NOT to a subfolder.

I.e. Myserver c:\Share1\Docs
on Myserver you create the Share1 so that can be mapped. Unless you also share the Docs folder in the same way you cannot map to it.

You can create a shortcut directly into it but you cannot map a drive on the PC to it.

Windows 2000 and above will map to subfolders of a share. I guess I was hoping Windows 98 would act in the same way.

Thanks for the reply's. It's been awhile since I've had to do anything with Windows 98.

Thanks,
