XP requires the person using the resource to have a local account and password. That could be your problem, or you could be running out of connections like you mentioned. Another thing to do is always delete the port before reassigning it with NET USE. The last thing would be to quit blaming Bill Gates for you running DOS applications.

Mainly this is Bill Gates problem! Since I use DOS 6:5++ Glorious version latest! I use the net use command to map printers to LPT ports In my small network I run a printerserver within a workgroup running XP (I know I should run a real server OS but I am short for euros and prefer to give my sparse dollars to RBTI) Now and then my user lose contacts with printers Normally no problem but when I connect 3 customers by VPN and some laptops to download files at my customer site I reach the limit of 10 users to a XP computer! Can that be the reason the latest user does not get connected to to LPT port?? Forgive me for asking a Bill Gates question at R:Best Level List Gunnar Ekblad
