[DUG] connection to a UNC folder with remote user andpasswordonlocal LAN

[Paul A Norman]

Thanks Conor,

I completely overlooked

 /SAVECRED

I'll give it a go. For either ...

net use  /SAVECRED   \\192.168.1.3 <file://192.168.1.3/> password

OR

net use  \\192.168.1.3 <file://192.168.1.3/> password /SAVECRED

I get this back,

"A command was used with conflicting switches."

Which sort of confuses me as I only used one switch I think
Paul
