NET.EXE is used for network functions from a command line. To see available options, type NET or NET HELP at a command prompt. You can obtain help on individual commands by typing NET HELP (COMMAND) and replacing (COMMAND) with the specific command you want help with.

To map a drive letter to a network drive, the command would be:

NET USE (DRIVE): \\SERVER_NAME\SHARE_NAME

To map a share named SHARED on a server named SERVER to drive F, the command would be:

NET USE F: \\SERVER\SHARED

If a logon or password is required, you'll be prompted to enter them.

The best thing about networking from the command line is you know right away if something isn't working, because you get an error message when you enter the command. Beats the heck out of Windows taking several minutes to time out.
