how can I map a network drive with different user name and password on windows from the current user logged in using the net use command.

I haven't used DOS/alike for a while...but I guess

net use x: \\machine\sharename /user:remoteusername hispassword /persistent:yes

would create an X:\ drive for you, mapping \\machine\sharename share in it, and using "remoteusername" as the user who logs in the other machine and "hispassword" as the password for that user. and make the map persistent (so it doesn't disappear when rebooting..)

Two things:

Did it work?

Is this a fair restatement of the command:

Code:

net use x: \\MACHINE\SHARE /user:USER PASS /persistent:yes 

REM        Where:
REM   MACHINE == NetBIOS name of remote machine
REM   SHARE   == name of SMB share on MACHINE 
REM   USER    == user name on MACHINE 
REM   PASS    == user pasword on MACHINE

MACHINE is running Win or *nix + Samba.
