Hello Again... I have Win95 running very well on my 750Cs. now it's time to make it do neat tricks (or at least try :) I have it connected via a PCMCIA Ethernet card to my lab's NT 3.51 network. I can share printers and connect network drives. I have a gateway service running on one NT server and therefore get full Net access. I can also map a remote CDROM to a specific drive letter and use it from my 'Pad. There are two things that I would like to do, and haven't been able to do them yet. The first one is to start a backup of my local drive on a remote tape w/o going to the remote machine (I can do it from there). I'm guessing that I just need some software, but haven't found anything to support our Exabyte DAT drive (from Win95) The second thing, and perhaps more difficult, is that I would like to fool Win95 into thinking that it has a local CDROM drive and map it to the network drive. Occasionally, if I try to run some software from the CDROM, it starts but at some point it will stop saying that it can't detect the CD Drive. I think that I have traced this to the registry (there is no way to select a drive there under the CD subheadings) but can't figure out a way around it... anyone has any pointers on this matter? I don't really want to buy a CDROM drive if I don't have to... Thanks in advance! Art ========================================================================== Arturo J.
