- Hi Nick. I run 2 CD-ROM drives and a 6 Disc Pioneer Changer over a
- LANtastic 4.1 Network with 3 machines on my BBS.
-
- On the server, I have a shared resource set up as CD-ROM pointing to the
- logical drive I have it configured for.
-
- Also, on the server I have the CD-ROM drivers loaded in my CONFIG.SYS
- file and the MSCDEX program is loaded in my STARTNET.BAT file after the
- server is loaded but before I use the NET USE commands to set up the
- drives etc.
-
- My server STARTNET.BAT looks like this:
-
- @echo off
- REM Set search PATH to include C:\LANTASTI
- PATH %PATH%;C:\LANTASTI
- SET NET_ERROR=???
-
- REM Bring up NE2000 Adapter (ISA) on adapter 0
- c:\qram\loadhi nex000 /16-bit /iobase=320 /irq=5
- c:\qram\loadhi ailanbio /initial_send_size=1000 /size=1000
-
- ...edited out.....
-
- :LABEL1
- C:\CDROM\MSCDEX /DMCSD000 /L:N /V
- C:\LANTASTI\NET LOGIN/WAIT \\NODE2 NODE2
- C:\LANTASTI\NET LOGIN/WAIT \\NODE1 NODE2
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE M: \\NODE2\XTREE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE F: \\NODE1\C-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE X: \\NODE1\E-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE Y: \\NODE1\D-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE Z: \\NODE2\D-DRIVE
- SET NET_ERROR=
- :END
-
- and my workstation STARTNET.BAT uses a NET USE command to refer to the
- shared resource on my server.
-
- Such as
-
- C:\LANTASTI\NET LOGIN/WAIT \\NODE1 NODE3
- C:\LANTASTI\NET LOGIN/WAIT \\NODE2 NODE3
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE F: \\NODE1\C-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE M: \\NODE2\XTREE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE N: \\NODE2\CD-ROM <---- this line here redirects
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE X: \\NODE1\E-DRIVE drive N: to access the
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE Y: \\NODE1\D-DRIVE CD-ROM drive.
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE Z: \\NODE2\D-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET USE K: \\NODE2\C-DRIVE
- C:\LANTASTI\NET CLOCK \\NODE1
- SET NET_ERROR=
- :END
-
- I hope this helps you get it going.
-
- Cheers
