I'd have to say I have not had direct experience with XP home edition, but I have been
under the impression that one of it's main differences is the networking portion of the OS.
So maybe Net use is not a valid command or something along that line..
Just a guess Jim

Sami,
That is exactly how we accomplish the same thing. I've not had a problem yet with 2k or XP Pro, no XP Home to consider.
I have a client who is trying to print from R:BASE for DOS on a Windows XP
home edition
machine.
The startup batch file is:
Path=c:\rbfiles;%path% net use lpt1: /delete net use lpt1: \\ben\HP4050 cd rbfiles rbase net use lpt1: /delete exit
The printer is connected directly to the computer and is shared. They are on a workgroup network with no specific IP addresses or logins.
The share name of the printer is HP4050, the computer name that the printer
is connected to is Ben.
Sometimes the reports spool up and don't print until the user exits R:BASE
and sometimes they don't ever print at all.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Sami
