Dos network

[compass]

How can we access a network drive from dos ?

[Shamwari]

Create a DOS network boot disk. There are a lot of sites to help you do this, e.g. Bart's Network Boot Disk

Hope that helps...

is there any driver problem with it ?

[Martin Zugec]

First you need to initialize network as Shamwari said. You want to connect to workgroup or domain?

[compass]

domain Because my *.gho file in domain computer

i want run ghost from dos thats y

[Martin Zugec]

So after network is initialized use command

NET LOGON user_account password /DOMAIN:your_domain /YES /SAVEPW:NO > nul

Here is what you need:

These are the stages:

*Create a boot disk with the LAN drivers you require, and use it to boot to the network.

*Logon using the NET LOGON command as Martin Zugec suggested.

*Map a drive to your Ghost image share using the NET USE command.

*Restore your image.

If you use the boot disk I pointed you to earlier, it prompts to logon, and map a drive, so all you will need to do is create a little batch file to restore the image, or do it manually by executing the DOS ghost executable.

A little advise- make sure your boot disk, or image batch file loads the mouse driver if you intend to restore the image manually.
