Setting up Win2K machines

I was wondering if there is some way to script or copy a network connection. So, that I could use it on another machine?

Are you talking about creating a batch file, to automatically map a network drive.
If so here's the syntax...

net use drive letter:\\servername\sharename. Replacing drive letter with a letter of your choice. Create it in a notepad and replace the .txt extension with .bat

I want to know if I could copy or script a Network Dial-up Connection (ie. Local Area Connection).

Hey, Angelika...

Your question is not 100% clear, but I'm guessing that what you're trying to accomplish is to set up a computer with the same dial-up connection settings as a second computer. This would include the number dialed, your TCP/IP information, etc. Is that correct?

Please give us a little more information here.

Lew,
It actually would be a network LAN connection. I would like to be able to copy all the settings, without actually having to type them in each time I set up a machine. That would include: File and Print Sharing, Client for MS networks, TCP/IP and all the other components for the connection.

Having had to configure it so many times, I am getting sick of it. And it looks impossible, but who knows.... Maybe these settings are contained in the registry somewhere and I could copy that? I don't know.
