NASLite Network Attached Storage

Hi,

I've been searching around on the forums to figure out how to do this. I am setting an NASLite-SMB at my workplace. My users are on a company related domain and they can't access or map a drive letter to NAS box (authorization error). The key issue that I'm trying to solve is to have my users access the NAS box as a drive letter off their PCs. In my searches in the forums I came across the net use command (from http://www.serverelements.com/phpBB2/vi ... ab462f1952)
net use \\NASLite-SMB\Disk-1 /USER:NAS-User

Is there a way to use the above command on a pc (win xp or 2000) to map a network drive to the nas file server?

Additional thoughts about this issue:
- I could re-configure the server to be an NASLite-FTP box, but then I'm not sure how my users could map a drive letter via ftp (?anyone have any ideas?)

- Alternatively, theres the NASLite-NFS configuration. I found great instructions on this thread:
http://www.serverelements.com/phpBB2/vi ... ab462f1952
However, the above solution is more involved in getting my users to install nfs client (I'm trying to keep the solution on their side as simple as possible)

- Lastly, I have a machine that's not part of domain (it is running windows 2000) and it is on the same workgroup (i.e. default) as the NAS-SMB box. I can map the NAS box to a drive letter. However, I can't share out the drive...has anyone come up with a way to do it this way? (in other words my domain users can see other shared folders from this machine)

I'd appreciate any info and help.

Sincerely,

El

Hi,

In looking more carefully at net use documentation I found the mapping to drive letter:
net use U: \\NASLite-SMB\Disk-1 /USER:NAS-User /P:YES

My apologies for not investigating further.
