mapping network drive

I am trying to map a network drive in dos. I have two PCs networked with crossover cable and Netgear NICs. They both run win98 and the network works from windows. Do I load the drivers onto a boot disk? Any advise appreciated.

Are you trying to map a network drive through pure DOS or through the Win 98 command prompt ? I'll presume that you are doing it through pure DOS, first you can get a version of DOS like 6.22 then run the setup program to create a DOS boot disk. This will ask you to provide the DOS NIC drivers for your NIC. Point this in the correct direction then boot from the disk. You will have to share a drive from one computer in order to map to it from the other. Use net share Type net share /? at the command prompt to get the correct syntax for this command. Then on the other machine type net use [Drive]: \\Other_computer\drive_share_name
If you have Win 98 on both machine why don't you just share and map through the Windows GUI it will be a lot easier !
Hope this is of use.
