What is a Mapped Network Drive?
Important: Only Drives that were set correctly to be shared across the Network can be mapped. If you have Sharing problems, this might help: Sharing Disk Drives on Windows Network. A – Mapping a Drive through the Network allows you to treat the drives of other computers on the Network as though there are additional drives on your computer. Let say that we have one computer name Jack and another computer name Nick. Once you set the Network and the Network Sharing you can map the Drive C: of Computer Nick to be available on Computer Jack and assign to it a local drive letter Example: N (or any other available letter). Once you do this Computer Jack has an additional drive N: that let you do every thing that you can do with a drive (copy, move, delete, open file, Burn CD, listen to music etc.) as though Nicks C: is actually on Jack (provided it was set to allow sharing.) You can also map on Computer Nick a network drive with the letter J using Jacks C: Drive and you would have on Computer
