> I'm running a Win95 client machine from home using VPN-1 SecuRemote > Version 4.1 SP-2 3DES to connect to my company's network. Once connected > to the SecuRemote firewall, I use the "net use" DOS command to map drive > letters to my company's network computers. Even though I can successfully > ping the company's computers using the names of the computers, "net use" > doesn't work using the computer names -- but "net use" does work using the > IP addresses of the computers. So I can make the drive mappings > successfully, but the problem is I eventually I lose connections to the > network computers. There seems to be no pattern as to how quickly I lose > the connections -- sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 40 minutes. > When the drive is disconnected, the DOS message I get -- when for example > I try "dir H:" -- is "The computer name specified in the network path > cannot be located." When I try "net use" again with the IP address to map > the drive, I get the DOS Error 53, "The computer name specified in the > network path cannot be located. Make sure you are specifying the computer > name correctly, or try again later when the remote computer is available." > At this point, I can still successfully ping the computer as long as I use > the IP address, but I cannot re-establish the drive mapping (either in DOS > or in Windows Explorer) and I can't otherwise access the computer. > > Any idea what might be causing the network drives to be disconnected and > the access to the computers to be lost? > > Thanks, > Brad Miller > Boston, MA > ================================================================================ To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================================================
