 | View Full Version : Mounting network drives in MS-DOS ShellBounder 01-02-2002, 06:59 PM I manage 2 computers and would like to run a complete backup of one of them using Norton Ghost to the other computer via a small LAN. Is there any way to mount a network location to a drive letter so I can do this? Thanks! El Nino 01-02-2002, 07:04 PM I'm pretty sure it can't be just a peer-to-peer network, you have to have a file server to login to like Windows NT/2000 or Novell. I know that Novell has a DOS login client, I dont have expierience with Windows NT/2000 logins through DOS cperciva 01-02-2002, 07:23 PM Yes, it is *possible*... but you'll probably find it much easier to physically move the drive. ShellBounder 01-02-2002, 08:37 PM Okay thanks. It's an internal drive and I don't want to mess with moving it, and I have no fileserver, simply a Windows XP pro box and a Windows 98 SE box. cperciva 01-02-2002, 08:56 PM Sorry, I'm confused. Is this machine running MS-DOS, or is it running windows? If it's running windows, that makes things much, much easier.
