nas8000 and win NT

[chrif]

hi all,
we just installed a nas8000 and we need to shear the mounting point of our server to let user access the nas. meaning that user will be connected to the nas via the NT4 server. but wat i see is that i can't shear this mount point in the NT system.

so how can i do that ?

NAS is stands for Network Attached Storage, like network disk. So you need to configure NAS8000 correctly, assign network name to it, connect NAS to the LAN and then on NT machine open 'My Computer' select Tools and 'Map Network drive...' and simpy enter letter you want to assign to drive and NAS8000's network name. I did not do it by myself, but think I'm correct and it will work

All what you sed is allready don but what i need is to share the nt drive that is already mapped to other PC.

Please ask this question in Microsoft section of ITRC forum.
I have some network drives mapped and see that I can not share mapped drives.
I consider it's not good idea to share mapped drive because it will involve one more host and slow down request serving. Why not to map NAS8000 drives to each host with needs to access it?

You cannot serve a network-mounted drive. As Eugeny suggests, you will need to mount it directly from the NAS8000.
