I have a Windows Media PC running as a file server for my house network. My roomate has a wireless network connection to this Media PC where he maps network drives for Music and files.

I wrote a bat file to have in his startup menu so that when he logins it will auto connect to the server, but there seems to be some issues. The issues don't seem to be in the .bat file although I attached it for any suggestions.

Only one of the network drives works, all the others map but prompt an error message that the he might not have permissions to use this drive. I opened the properties of all of the networked drives on the Media PC and all the permissions and security settings are identical. but yet still he cannot connect to some of them. I have created a user on the Media PC under his name and have added this user into the permissions and secuirty and given him full access yet still nothing seems to work. He has never physically logged into this computer but i wouldn't see how that would be any different.

The only thing different between the one network folder he can get access to and all the others he cannot is that the one he gets access to is on a different hard drive in the Media PC.

Any suggestions? Please review the bat file below for some suggestions if you have any

net use f: /d

net use g: /d

net use h: /d

net use i: /d

net use j: /d

net use f: \\server\Music pamela /USER:Brent /persistent:yes

net use g: \\server\Appz pamela /USER:Brent /persistent:yes

net use h: \\server\TV Shows pamela /USER:Brent /persistent:yes

net use i: \\server\Music Videos pamela /USER:Brent /persistent:yes

net use j: \\server\Movies pamela /USER:Brent /persistent:yes

I also see the shared drives in his network places on his computer, but when I double click on any of them they all give the permissions issue except for the music shared folder (which is on the seperate drive)

Kinda frusterating.
