The NET command allow for making use of network resources even when the
network browser function does not work. Here is how you can get started
in getting familiar with it. Note that the NET command has more features
under NT, Win2k, WinXP than it does with Win9x, ME.

net - by itself gives you the commands that are available
net view - show, if possible, the computers that are on the network
net use j: \\192.168.0.5\public
  this command will create a virtual "j:" drive that represents a
connection to the computer whose ip address is 192.168.0.5 and on which
there is a shared directory named "public". Substitute your own disk
assignment, ip and share name as appropriate. You will be prompted for a
password if your computers current password does not match the one you
are connecting to. The user name on your local computer, however, must
match that of an account on the remote machine. Under NT, Win2k, WinXP,
you also have the option of specifying what user name you want to
connect by. For example, net use j: \\192.168.0.5\public /u:robert
The /u: option does not work under Win9x.

Can you tell me more about the 'Net Use" commands. Syntax, usage etc.
Not familiar with that one.
