map network resource out of domain

Hello!
I want to map a network drive. But the shared resource is on a server
wich is out of the domain of my computer. I have a user-account with
the necessary permissions for that share. (From an computer in the
domain I can use the shared folder) The network connection to the
server is all right (tried with ping). So I used the command net use X:
\\ip\resource
But now the network resource can not be found....
What's could be a cause for that error?
With kind regards,
Jan

More than likely it's either a permissions or SMB signing issue. I assume
you pinged with the computer's NetBIOS name? WHen you pinged, did it resolve
to the FQDN and gave you a reply or did it just give a reply?

When using a net use command to this resource, you'll need to supply
credentials too.
net use x: \\computerName\shareName /user:domainName\username
/persistent:yes

Did you also try it using Map Drive from Explorer and supply alternate
credentials in the form of domainName\username and the password?

Hello Ace!
Thank you for the answer.
I pinged the IP-adress. I did not get back the FQDN with ping, only
with the tracert-command.
I tried also to map the drive from Explorer with alternate credentials,
but it did not work. (network-resource not found...)
When I try to adress the server by IP it should work, doesn't it?
What could I try or check now?
With kind regards,
Jan

Did you also try to ping by using the computername? If so, did itresolve to
an IP? Or are you saying you pinged soley using the IP address of the
computer and not the name?

If you want to ping by IP and reverse-resolve the computer hostname (FQDN -
fully qualified domain name such as computername.domain.com), use:
ping -a IpAddress
As long as there's a PTR in a reverse zone, it will resolve to that FQDN,
otherwise it won't resolve.

Resource not found? That tells me that it either doesn't exist or it can't
resolve the NetBIOS name. I still need to know if you can ping by computer
name, such as "computername" and not "computername.domain.com", but either
way will work with a map as long as the FQDN resolves to an IP.

> When I try to adress the server by IP it should work, doesn't it?

Yes, it should, such as:

net use x: \\192.168.5.200\sharename

(192.168.5.200 is just an example IP address)

Hey Jan,
I don't mean to step in however when you say your outside the domain, are
you completely outside the network as well?

By all means step in. Any additional help is welcome!
