Dear all, I am having a problem where by if I create a persistent mapping on a windows 2000 server as: net use q: \\123.45.67.89\fred password /user:tom /persistent:yes where: 1. my Win2K account name that I log in with is tom and my password is password. The w2k box is a member of a workgroup workgroup. 2. the share is exported from a samba server with HPUX 11.11i and running samba 2.2.9 (HP version). in the samba conf file, security = shared method is used. 3. the unix user defined in the passwd file user tom and password is password. 4. the above command maps the drive perfectly. When I log out then login again I'm prompted for the password again. I though that windows was supposed to remember the password and map the drive. If I enter the password correctly (password) the drive maps ok. What do I need to do to automatically map the q: drive next time I log in (i.e. no password prompt)? Help much appreciated. regards, John Chenoweth -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
