When I dial in to my network, I can map drives on most
servers that I have permissions on. However, I cannot map
to workstation shared drives that I have admin permissions
on. Does anyone know why this might be?

sounds like cache credentials issue. try this: net use \\workstationname
/user:administrator. post back with the result.

Robert,

Thanks for responding. Here is what I got with an
ethernet connection. Do I need to try it from a dial in?

Local name
Remote name \\bd51\C$
Resource type Disk
Status OK
# Opens 0
# Connections 2
The command completed successfully

Thanks,

Gary

Robert,

When I tried the command using a dial-up connection, I got
system error 53 "Network path not found".

Does that help?

Robert,

Net View yeilds the same result:

"Network Path not found"

These commands work fine if I'm connected via ethernet.
They just don't work through dial-up.

http://www25.brinkster.com/ChicagoTech
"Network path not found" in a workgroup network - error 53

RESOLUTIONS:
1) Make sure that File and Printer Sharing is enabled on on the shared
computer.
2) Make sure that shared machine has something shared.
3) Make sure that you have created the same workgroup and logon the same
username if you try to access w2k/xp network.
4) Make sure that you have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP if this is a mixed OS
network.

Robert,

The network admins informed me that I cannot ping through
the router using RAS. I looked the the
resolutions....everyting checks out.
