Hi Guys, I have been experiencing problem with my work and I cant figure out where I went wrong. I have been trying his to access network resources (shared directory)using DOS and have successful by doing the following; - HDD has no partition - booting up with floppy disk with the following configuration in Config.Sys & Autoexec.Bat Config.Sys ========== Device=himem.sys FILES=20 buffers=10 dos=high,umb stacks=9,256 devicehigh=ramdrive.sys /E 2048 device=a:\ifshlp.sys lastdrive=z Autoexec.Bat ============ @echo off cls REM Search for RAMdisk and store its drive tetter in environment variable RAMDRIVE a:\findramd IF ERRORLEVEL 255 GOTO NoRamDrive IF NOT ERRORLEVEL 3 GOTO NoRamDrive IF ERRORLEVEL 3 SET RAMDRIVE=C: IF ERRORLEVEL 4 SET RAMDRIVE=D: IF ERRORLEVEL 5 SET RAMDRIVE=E: IF ERRORLEVEL 6 SET RAMDRIVE=F: IF ERRORLEVEL 7 SET RAMDRIVE=G: IF ERRORLEVEL 8 SET RAMDRIVE=H: IF ERRORLEVEL 9 SET RAMDRIVE=I: IF ERRORLEVEL 10 SET RAMDRIVE=J: IF ERRORLEVEL 11 SET RAMDRIVE=K: IF ERRORLEVEL 12 SET RAMDRIVE=L: IF ERRORLEVEL 13 SET RAMDRIVE=M: IF ERRORLEVEL 14 SET RAMDRIVE=N: IF ERRORLEVEL 15 SET RAMDRIVE=O: IF ERRORLEVEL 16 SET RAMDRIVE=P: IF ERRORLEVEL 17 SET RAMDRIVE=Q: IF ERRORLEVEL 18 SET RAMDRIVE=R: IF ERRORLEVEL 19 SET RAMDRIVE=S: IF ERRORLEVEL 20 SET RAMDRIVE=T: IF ERRORLEVEL 21 SET RAMDRIVE=U: IF ERRORLEVEL 22 SET RAMDRIVE=V: IF ERRORLEVEL 23 SET RAMDRIVE=W: IF ERRORLEVEL 24 SET RAMDRIVE=X: IF ERRORLEVEL 25 SET RAMDRIVE=Y: IF ERRORLEVEL 26 SET RAMDRIVE=Z: IF ERRORLEVEL 27 GOTO NoRamDrive ECHO RAMdisk drive letter is %RAMDRIVE% %RAMDRIVE% md net a: pkunzip -e a:\net\teng_net.zip %RAMDRIVE%\net path=%RAMDRIVE%\net net start Up to this point, everything work smoothly. My problem comes when I add a partition to my HDD. With the same configuration mentioned above, I get this error when Autoexec.bat executes the NET START line. The error message says; Error 3: The specified path was not found. An error occurred accessing the security-setting file. The error explanation in the documentation is very vague and not helpful at all. I badly need to crack this one. Please email me the solution in details. Thanks in advance, guys. I really appreciate.

check if password and username of net logon command are the same as in system.ini solved my problem with that thing...

I am having the exact same problem. When I do a net start from the RAMDrive it gives me the error. If I run the net start from the a:\net\ folder it works fine. The reason I want to use a ramdrive is to have enough space for multiple NIC drivers. I have checked my Protocol.ini and system.ini. The system.ini is the file with any paths in it and they have been changed to the ram drive. Any help is greatly appreciated.
