Can't map a network drive more than 2 layers deep

Hello,

I have a Windows 2000 network, but many of the
workstations are still using Windows 98. I have the user
directories map in the login script at
\\server\users\homefolder. The Windows 98 clients can't
map more than one folder deep (i.e. \\server\foldername)
All other drives are mapped except the homefolder. I
have heard that if I upgrade the vredir.vxd file on the
W98 machines, this would be possible, but I can't see to
find an updated version of the file. I am currently
using vredir.vxd, dated 4/23/99 and version 4.10.2222.
Does anyone know where I can get an updated version of
the file?

Thanks

marie

Win98 does not support mapping to a folder on a share.
Hence

net use x: \\YourServer\YourShare works OK, but
net use x: \\YourServer\YourShare\SomeFolder is not OK.

I heard that there was an upgrade to the vredir.vxd file
that would allow me to do this. How are others mapping
drives for users?

Thanks

They create one share for each folder they wish to share.
