VLab 2.0: Mapping Network Drives

Mapping Network Drives Using VPN on VLab

1. Open the Start menu in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen.

2. Right-click This PC, and select Map Network Drive from the drop down menu.

3. Map Network Drive window should appear. Select the Drive and Folder (share name path).

NOTE: Folders always start with a\\ and then the server name. You may need to refer to your drive mapping when at work to get the correct folder name.

 4. A Connect As box will appear. Select Connect using a different user name. (If you have been using your Win account at work type win\username)

 5. Type the appropriate password and select OK.

 6. Select Finish; your drive should now be mapped.

 Problem? Things to check for:

• Verify that you have the correct path typed into the folder.
• Are you using the correct username\password?
• Some firewalls block mapping drives. If you are using a firewall you will have to contact the vendor for opening drive mapping.
