These instructions are for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, using screen shots from Windows
XP.
- Open My Computer
- Click on Tools and then select Map Network
Drive...
- The first box you will see is Drive. This is
the drive letter you will be mapping this
network
drive to. You can access it through
My Computer or through the command prompt.
- If you know the network drive (share) you
wish to connect to, you may type it in
manually.
- If you are unsure, you can browse to the
resource you wish to use.
- Select the location you wish to map to from
the Browse window and click OK
- The share will be listed in the Folder
box.
- Sometimes you will need to enter in a
different username and password. To do so, click
connect using a different user name. This
will open a new window where you can enter in
the
new information. If you are using VPN
from home and wish to map a drive, you will
definitely
need to do this.
Some
examples...
User name: administrator
User
name: scsu\jonesm
- Enter in your username and password and
click OK.
- Once you have completed these steps, you can
then click Finish.
- If you have entered the correct information
and have access to this share, you will then
be able to access the new mapped drive As
long as your system is on or you have not
disconnected
it.
- You can disconnect the mapped drive by going
back into My Computer, clicking Tools and then
clicking Disconnect Network
Drive...
