Script to Connect to Network Drive
Good Day all, I've gleaned so much information from these posts, that I thought it's time for me to contribute something, as well. So, here we go: I have created a little vbscript, which can be...
Wow, can't wait to try this, but from reading your link, combined with my checking my settings and thinking about my setup, my head began to buzz with questions! :idea: :idea:
1) Just as I have DHCP set up on my router (ProSafe SRXN3205), rather than NAS, I wondered if the same was possible for WINS. The Primary DNS Server is the router's LAN IP, so is the same possible for WINS? The SRNXN3205 manual states:
By default, the VPN firewall [SRXN3205] will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, WINS Server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN.
Also...
The VPN firewall will deliver the following settings to any LAN device that requests DHCP:...
• WINS server (if you entered a WINS server address in the DHCP section of the LAN Setup screen).
2) In Network Connections > Properties my DNS tab (like the WINS tab) shows no addresses, yet Network Connection Details shows the router LAN IP for IPv4 DNS Server. Does this sound right, and if so, could putting the LAN IP in the DNS tab have the same effect as your page?
3) Network Connection Details already shows NBT as enabled, so could simply following your purge instructions alone rectify resolution problems (even though I'll still set up WINS for shortcuts!)?
