Noob Dos Question

1
I recently started working with dos and I have been having a problem changing my directory to the servers at my work. I have been writing a .bat file in notepad and although I can run commands to and from them and ping the network drives, I need to be able to run a program specified by the name of the drive rather than the letter (ie z: drive) since the other people using this program are sure to have different letters for the same drive. Thanks for all your help!

As long as the machine is in the same workgroup or domain, you can access a share by using: \\Machinename\\Sharename

If you are talking about a Windows network then I should move this to the Windows thread.

I have moved this thread to the WIndows forum. Hopefully the folks there will be able to give you more help.

What DaiTengu says makes sense. It doesn't seem to work for 'simple file sharing', however.
