Have attached a CD Rom drive to a station on the above network.
We are now having trouble making the server recognise a new local C drive

We also have a similar setup on another network but cannot see how the local
C drive is defined.

The network works as normal otherwise.

Mail or post any help please.

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong group but this is not my usual Group to
post to and it is being crossposted to groups where an answer could possibly
come from.

Thanks for any help given.

Alan

If using Windows '95 then - in System Properties (Control Panel), set
the Local CD-ROM drive to be a higher drive letter than the networked
drive & Networked CD-ROM drives..

i.e. Network Drive lives at F:  (Though may have parts mapped to any
drive letter..!)
Networked CD-ROM drives live at H:    Therefore set local CD-ROM to be
drive I: (if it's not already mapped..)

It works for me..

Hope this helps.

John.
