Help !!!
Comprehensiveish Googling fails to answer this.
A friend is trying to replicate an arrangement on a 2 PC WIN95 network that
worked OK until he changed one PC.

Anyone have an idea how to map a subdirectory on a WIN95 networked PC as a
drive on another PC.

ie he wants to make C:\UTIL on a "remote" PC appear as eg G: on his local
PC.

NET USE returns error messages when trying to map beyond remote drive level
(despite the examples given by NET USE /? and SUBST won't work on network
drives.

According to NET USE /? the following should work.

        NET USE  G: \\PC1\C\UTIL

        where G: = drive to map as C:\UTIL on PC1
        PC1 is remote PC name
        C: is share name (drive) on remote PC
        UTIL is a subdirectory on PC1 C:

Using        NET USE  G: \\PC1\C:
works OK but adding the subdirectory reference returns Error 50.

I am trying this between two WIN98E PCs but what I read on internet suggests
it also doesn't work in WIN95

Any ideas?
