Hi Paul

I have this client with a server that I connect to through RDT

The RDT IP is (just example) 190.1.1.1

If I try to do what you suggest I can't connect

What I did is share the c: drive on the server and a folder (vfp)

net use z: \\190.1.1.1\general\vfp is what I do, but get the message

that the net name specified is not found.

If I leave a space between the z: and the \\ the command freezes. If I

remove the space, I get the above message.

I I try to do it from the Windows explorer (connect to network drive)

after a long while it asks for the credentials, but even then, no luck

What am I doing wrong?
