HP CD-ROM Server User's Guide

4-12 Mounting or Mapping Network Drives
Microsoft and IBM Networks (SMB)
You access the HP CD-ROM Server just like any other
workstation or file server. Below you will find examples on how
to access the CD-ROM server using clients for Windows 95,
Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, OS/2 and DOS.
SMB (Server Message Blocks) is a protocol that makes use of
NetBIOS. NetBIOS can be transported over several different
network protocols. The CD-ROM Server supports the following
transport methods automatically:
• SMB over NetBIOS/NetBEUI.
• SMB over NetBIOS/TCP/IP (also designated NBT).
Note ❏
The examples below assume that you have not changed the
SMB server name on the CD-ROM server. The default
server name in the SMB environment is
HP hhhhhh
, where
hhhhhh
are the last six digits of the CD-ROM server LAN
hardware (MAC) address. If you have changed the server
name, then replace the default names in our examples with
the new name.
❏
The Network Administrator can set the configuration
parameter
ShowPseudoShares
so that the only files seen are
the CD-ROMs. If this is the case, the folders (such as,
config
or
root
) will not be seen when accessing the CD-ROM
server. However they can still be accessed by manually
inserting the path to the folder (for example, the
root
folder)
when mapping the drive.
