unable to map to same machine using multiple drive letters
On a Windows 7 machine, I'm trying to map multiple drives to a Linux machine running Samba. I want to connect using the same username. (Note, this worked fine on my XP machine.) I'm running basically the following commands: > net use s: \\my-linux-box\dir1\dir2 /user:myuser /persistent:no > net use v: \\my-linux-box\dir1\dir2\dir3 /user:myuser /persistent:no From the second command, I get the error: > Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, > using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all > previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. You'll notice that the only differences between commands are: 1) I changed the drive name 2) I added an extra directory at the end of the mount location I'm running Windows 7 Professional, build 7601, SP1 I'm running smbd Version 3.0.33-0.17.el4 on a Linux machine running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4. Besides replacing "my-linux-box" with the IP address (on the second command), any ideas? Thanks.

Hi Yasinger, I tested this on my computer and it worked. (But it's not Samba.) I suggest you delete the existing connections (net use * del /yes) then try connect again.
