Mapped drive doesn't show up during installation
Ok, this one has a few twists:
I have the 32-bit version of Vista Business. I am on a network with a domain controlled by an NT4 domain controller, but I have not joined it. I mapped a drive to said NT4 server (it hosts our ERP software), and tried running the 16-bit client setup application for said ERP software. The application runs just fine, but part of the setup process requires you to point to a directory in the mapped drive, but the mapped drive does NOT show up in the list of available drives, and it always did under 98/2000/XP. Any ideas? Should I try joining the domain to see if that changes anything? TIA!

Since you are using NT 4, do you have WINS server? The link may help too,
NetBIOS and WINSMS provides many options for NetBIOS name resolution such as local cache lookup, WINS server query, broadcast, DNS server query, and LMHOSTS and HOSTS ... http://www.chicagotech.net/netbios&wins.htm Bob Lin, MS-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "ayrton04" wrote in message ...

We don't have a WINS server, but the installation process works just fine on
every other Windows OS from 98 through XP. Something is different about Vista, and I'm trying to figure out what.

Have you enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP?

Mapped drive doesn't show up during installation
I figured it out: the drive wasn't mapped in an elevated user mode, so it
wouldn't show up in my available drives. I had to do this: 1) Open up the command prompt *in administrator mode* 2) Type net use driveletter: \\servername\share 3) Map the drive *again* using the standard GUI method After that, it showed up in the installation. Weird! "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Have you enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP?
