wireless network & map network drive

The problem is that the 1st pc, needs to connect to a mapped network drive
via a Belkin wireless Access Point on a 2nd pc. However at the time of this
connection the wireless network is not yet active.

Both pc's are using Win98SE with a Belkin wireless PCI card on PC1.

Any advice on how to overcome this problem would be appreciated


Tom

Map the drive with a batch file in the StartUp program group - that should
let the network get started before the drive mapping happens.

Hi Richard

Do you have an example of such a batch file that I can use as a guide

TIA

Sure:

@echo off
net use v: /d
net use v: \\servername\sharename

Of course, change v: to the drive letter you want to map, and
\\servername\sharename to the path to the folder in question.
