I want to ghost an image from one hard drive to another. I have the ghost file ready to go, I need to ghost it, but where do I put it? I want to put it on another hard drive on a share on my LAN. I have set up the share and am stuck on how to get DOS to map a drive to allow GHOST to see it to push the ghost file to that location.
I am sure you use net use or something like that. How do I get the NIC adapter to bind so that it see's TCP/IP protocol and the IP address and default gateway that I set up!?
Thank you.
Do I edit autoexec.bat and or protocol.ini, where do I put the files!? What do I do? Have you a test or simple sample for me to use!? Thank you. I am not stupid I merely do not know how to do this!:)
Thank you.

The command to use is net use indeed

for example net use e: \\computername\sharename
But you need to get connected to a network. You can get a network boot floppy or so, probably on http://www.bootdisk.com

A little example of a script I use for that:

@Echo off
SET PATH=A:\;A:\NET
cd net
time2ini
LH net initialize
netbind.com
LH umb.com
tcptsr.exe
tinyrfc.exe
nmtsr.exe
LH emsbfr.exe
LH \NET\net start
echo Connecting to the Configuration Server...
net logon /YES /SAVEPW:NO remoteadmin pwd
net use S: \\server01\sys$
net use G: \\server01\GARBAGE$
net use L: \\server01\VSP-LOG$
net use I: \\server01\IMAGES$
cd ..
set comspec=S:\DOS\command.com
SET PATH=S:DOS\;S:\NET;S:\ANTTOOLS
g:
call S:\BAT\setname.bat
s:
s:\BAT\GetImage.bat

And getimage.bat is just the ghost exe with optional parameters :

md L:\%PCID%
md L:\%PCID%\ghost
S:\ghost\ghost.exe -clone,mode=dump,src=1,dst="I:\%PCID%.GHO" -sure -DFILE=L:\%PCID%\ghost\dump.txt -AFILE=L:\%PCID%\ghost\error.txt -rb
