Using NetWare Connectivity
Working with NetWare Connectivity
map del g:
You can then reconnect using a different drive letter, such as V, by typing:
map v: = netware1/sys:/public
Note that on LAN Manager Enhanced workstations, when you use a
LAN Manager command to view the drive letters on your workstation that
are assigned to network directories, only drive letters assigned to
Windows NT and LAN Manager directories appear. Similarly, when you use
a NetWare command to do this, only NetWare directories appear.
For example, suppose you have assigned drive F to a Windows NT
Advanced Server directory, and assigned drives Q and Z to NetWare
directories. If you type net use (the LAN Manager command to view
directories your workstation has connections to), only F appears. If you type
map (the NetWare equivalent), only drives Q and Z appear.
Connecting to Network Printer Queues
LAN Manager, Windows NT, and NetWare must share the printer
devicenames (such as LPT1 and LPT2) available on your workstation. Do
not assign a single printer devicename to printer queues or more than one
network at the same time. If you do, you can use only the LAN Manager
queue referred to by that devicename.
The LAN Manager command that lists devicenames assigned to network
printers (net use) shows only Windows NT and LAN Manager printer
queues. The NetWare command (capture) shows only NetWare printer
queues. When you need to connect to a new printer, first check your current
connections to both types of queues, and then use a devicename not already
in use.
For example, suppose you need to connect to the printer queue LASER2 on
the server PRODUCT. First, check your current connections with the net
use and capture commands.
Typing the LAN Manager command net use displays:
