Samba and winXP (simple question)
 

I have a question. In order to network linux and microsoft, I use samba. In windows I use a dos script, in a .bat file, that makes a network drive in windows, but I have to type in the username and pass after executing it. I want to know if there is a way to encode the username and pass in the .bat file so it automatically fills in the username and pass. the script in it looks like this:



net use j: \\<ipddress>\root /persistent:no





Thanks!

Come on, someone has to know how to do this!

anyone?

try this
net use DRIVE: \\hostname\share /user:username password /persistent:no

there are many more options if you do a
net use /?
