I just read an article in WINNT Magazine about using "net use g: servername\share" when mapping netware drives as opposed to "net use g: \\servername\share" for NT shares. Manually mapping a drive at a command prompt using this trick has a significant decrease in the response time. Is there anyway to do this with kix32. When I try it in debug mode it keeps coming back with invalid syntax (or something to that effect). I've looked though the manual but it's possible I overlooked something.

Thanks.

You need the Microsoft NetWare client or Novell NetWare Client on your workstations, before you can map Novell Drives !

I have the intranetware client installed. My question was about the use command. I'm trying to find out if there is a way for kixtart to accept "use servername\sharename" in addition to "use \\servername\sharename". When mapping to a novell drive if you use the former it responds much quicker.

Re: mapping a Novell drive with "net use", omitting the backslashes in the UNC name, have you tried:

run "%comspec% /c net use k: SERVER\VOLUME\"

?
If it works at the command prompt, it should work.
