Hi Kevin,

This method works:


#====Using a hostname for the remote machine=====
	net  use  \\\\sandstone.bedrock.net\\IPC$  /user:bedrock\\fflintstone  /persistent:no
	(You'll be prompted for a password)


#====Using an IP address for the remote machine=====
	net  use  \\\\192.168.2.100\\IPC$  /user:bedrock\\fflintstone  /persistent:no
	(You'll be prompted for a password)


#=====Map drive Z: to the C: drive on the remote server=====
	net  use  z:  \\\\sandstone.bedrock.net\\C$
	--or--
	net  use  z:  \\\\192.168.2.100\\C$

	ls -latr /cygdrive/z  (get a directory listing on the mapped drive)


The first line sets up an IPC channel to the server you're interested in mapping to.
The second maps drive Z: to the C: share.

To UNMAP, use this syntax, just as in CMD.EXE.

	net use Z: /delete
