Problem

Solutions: Peer to peer networks can have inconsistent drive mappings. For example, one station's drive C: can be another station's drive D:.

If a person is using a LANtastic network, this problem can be solved by defining station one (where WP is loaded) as having more than one drive letter (C:, F:, W:) for the same physical drive and having all other stations define station one's drive as being the W: drive. This is done by inserting the following command in all workstations' STARTNET.BAT file:
      NET USE W:\\station1name\C-DRIVE

The "station1name" is the name of the station with WP loaded. W: is a suggested drive letter for WP. This allows station one to have C: as well as W: for the same physical drive.
