Need Help with a RAS question, dialing in from Home for work. Please Help!!

[net1994]

Hi, I need to work on some files that are stored on my company's NT Network, from home on my Win 98 machine. My network account at work has been enabled to let me dial in, but after I get connected to the Remote Access Server, then what do I do?? Do I have to map a drive to the Drive, or folder where my files are stored?? If so, can you tell me how to do this. Or can I use Norton PCAnywhere, after (or before?) I dial into and log on to my company's network? Which is easier? I have never used PCAnywhere, but is it the easiest way to access files at my job. Thanks a lot and please offer some detailed suggestions if you can. I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again.

There are a few "easy" things that you can do.

1. create a shortcut on your desktop; as the location, put: "\\servername\foldername" (without the quotes

-or-

2. you can create a drive mapping to that share by right clicking on network neighborhood.

If that doesn't work, you could try expanding the options on the "login" screen (if you get one) to dial a network to log-in.

just my $0.02
