Title: Windows XP Home Edition
Post by: Bruce on November 25, 2002, 04:53:03 PM

Microsoft does it again. Does anyone have a solution to using XP Home Edition to map to the primary/html directory? I have no problems with iBays, but have to use an FTP utility to get to the web content. I thought I had seen something on this before, but am unable to find it now.

I recall hearing somewhere that XP Home doesnt support networking particularly well, only supports workgroups and not domains iirc. Have you got your samba server on SME configured to be a domain controller?

As I don't need a persistant mapping, I use a batchfile to map the primary dir

net use f: \linux1\primary * /user:admin /persistent:no
pause


replace "f:"  and "linux1" with the your favorite driveletter ;-)) and your servers'

hostname.

note: This will ask you for your admin pwd if you run it.
