I've got a Win NT 4 server and a DOS machine. I've got their conections done, but when I use xcopy to copy files from server to DOS, only the folders that only contain txt files can be copied. Or else it gives a "Network device no longer exists reading drive x" error..
Is there any thing I need to edit , interms of files sharing and user rights?
