Network Crisis

I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have recently connected 2 windows 98 computers in a network at my store. The 2 PCs see each other and I have mapped a network drive to my master PC with the global folders. The mapped drive is called E:\. The share on the master is called GPOS. When I try to map the path to the master PC in DHPOS I get an invalid path error. Even though I am using e:\ in the network path of DHPOS. It used to work with my XP machine but no longer with the 2 98 machines. PS The Master is a 98 machine as well as the one I want to connect to it. And I am using the latest version of your software. Please help!!!

Thanks

So E:\ maps to the directory that contains a folder on your master PC called GPOS which contains your DHPOS files right?

Then you enter E:\GPOS into the network module of DHPOS on the client PC's. If your "E" drive goes direct into the GPOS folder then your path should be E:\

We've had people enter this incorrectly before. Try going to:
- Start menu
- Run
- E:\
- Press OK or Enter
What opens? Do you see the files inside your GPOS folder, or a bunch of files/folders and one of them being your GPOS folder?

Ashendran,

If the folder you have the POS program in on the server is GPOS and the server drive is E: then the correct path that you have to enter into the POSCONFG.EXE program is E:\GPOS\
