Re: Mapping drive on Vista to V5R3

["Rob Dixon" <robertsdixon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many Thanks Guillermo.  I have done this.  But I cannot access my network
files on either a V5R3 or a V5R1 machine using Vista.  I would appreciate
any help.  I reposted this problme on midrange-l at David's request and it
might be better to post any responses there.
