Re: no mapped drive

Hi Rebecca,

1. No, I cannot access the file server by name = "The network path was not
found."
2. Yes, I already have WINS installed and running just fine.
3. Yes, both servers are on the same subnet.

FYI - This name resolution problem only occurs when targeting the file
server. I can access all other servers in the domain, by name, from the
terminal server.

Thanks,
Mike
