Mapping a network share from a different domain

[oddyager]

Hey all,

I'm trying to connect to a share that is on a different network (them in UK, I'm here in the US). They provided me with the credentials I need to use with their domain but I am unable to connect (system error 67). Is it any different form mapping a local share in my own network? I used the command:

net use * \\host_ip_address\sharename /user:remote_domain\userid

I don't have its hostname but I don't think that's necessary? I can ping that host fine and they can ping us fine (we have an existing tunnel between our two networks). I do have a firewall between us but I allow all IP protocol connections between us.

Thanks.

net use works with an ip for internet addresses on the same network as you. but you need to specify the drive letter than the remote share to have a mapped drive visible to you. I could get net use to work for pcs on my different network address but not for my one pc on a different network address, this is since you need more stuff done for over the internet. i found an article that might work for you. but its for winnt and i couldnt find where the remote access services is located in xp, and the directions are conceptual.

trusted domain ftw

setup a trust, that way users can utilize the map off of there login script as well.....1 way trust would be fine as well.

net use * \\host_ip_address\sharename /user:remote_domain\userid [* | password]

Error 67 usually means the sharename is wrong.

Thanks. I do have a trust setup between our two DCs. I'm kicking this back to them then.
