Mounting or Mapping Network Drives 4-15
Note
❏
In the Microsoft Network environment, network resources
are accessed by specifying a server and a resource on that
server using the
\\server\resource
syntax (UNC -
Universal Name Convention). The resource is not a file path
and it is not possible to replace the resource name with the
path to a file or folder on your CD-ROM. Therefore, if using
the file system as outlined on page 4-2, only
cd folder access
(see “ Access Points ” earlier in this chapter) would be
possible. However, the CD-ROM server will also allow you to
map the following resources on SMB clients:
• root , which includes the complete file system of the
CD-ROM server. Map a network drive to root for root-
level access.
• cd_nnnnn , a folder for each CD-ROM (or CD-ROM drive
if an alias name for the SCSI ID has been set). Map a
network drive letter to cd_nnnnn to mount an individual
CD-ROM.
Alternative
Method of
Connection
If you have removed the default workgroup named ‘Workgroup’,
the CD-ROM server will not be visible in the browser until an
existing workgroup has been specified in the CD-ROM server.
This is done by the parameter
Domain/GroupName
. To connect to
the CD-ROM server do the following:
1. Start the Windows Explorer from the Start menu.
2. Select Map Network Drive... from the Tools menu.
3. Select a drive letter.
4. In the path box, type
\\HP hhhhhh\root
, where
hhhhhh
are the
last six digits of the CD-ROM server’s LAN hardware address.
5.
Check Reconnect at logon if you wish to use the CD-ROM
server under the same drive letter the next time you start your
computer.
6. Click the OK button. The CD-ROM server is ready for use.
You can edit your CD-ROM server configuration to make it
appear in any existing workgroup. See chapter 5 “CD-ROM
Server Configuration”.
