Reply: (edit)Ty,
NET use commands are not permanent connections. I.E. you have to reinstate them every time you reboot the machine. The best way to to do this is include a batch file with the net use command in the startup folder of the machine. If it is a pure DOS machine, then add the command to the Autoexec.bat file. However, If both machines are windows machine it would probably be best to add the printer in the printers folder so it windows will automatically reinstate the connection each time windows boots. Also if you are logging into an NT network, you can have the administrator add the net use command to the person's login script (if the script is for one user only, if its for the machine just put it in the startup folder as a stated earlier).
Hope this helps.
