Mounting (mapping) of your home (login) directory is limited to computers within the College of Engineering (COE) network. Computers outside of that domain are not allowed to mount your home directory. Computers in ECI administered Labs mount (map) your home directory automatically at login: Other Windows computers that are allowed, you can map your home directory as follows: • Right click on the Start menu and select Explore. • In the Explore window, left click on the Tools drop down menu and select Map Network Drive. • In the Map Network Drive window, choose the drive you want to map (usually X:) • In the Folder box, type: samba.engr.ucsb.edu • If desired, check the box to make this a permanent mapping.
