Hi there,
I am having trouble with samba (version 2.0beta4) and I thought
someone might have seen this before. From client PCs (win98
and winnt 4.0) I am able to see my samba server in net hood. I
am able to browse the shared filesystems. I am able to map
drives. However, when a network drive is mapped to a local
drive on a PC, it does not appear in the drive list in
explorer. In a shell you can change to N: and see files.
In apps you can save to/read from N:. But explorer does not
see the mapped drive... on either NT or 98.
I am trying to determine the win32 call that enumerates map-
ped drives and delve deeper into this problem. It is an issue
for me because I have some novices using the pcs and I want
them to be able to use explorer on the shared drive because it
is an interface they understand. I've looked high and low for
a published answer to this question to no avail. If you have
any hints or have seen this before, please drop a line.
Appreciate it.
Scott
