Cant map com1 over citrix
We have Citrix PS4.0 on Win2003 and im using Citrix neighbourhood 9.0 on WinXP to connect to a scanner program on our server. We need to map client's com1 to com1 on the citrix server
when i run
C:\>net use com1: \\client\com1:
or
C:\>Net use com8 \\client\com1: /persistent:no
or
C:\>net use com1 \\client\com1
or
Use COM9 \\CLIENT\CLIENTPORT:COM1:
i get
System error 66 has occurred.
The network resource type is not correct.
I have checked that under network configuration "Disable Client Port mapping" is uncheked. We map lpt port to a printer in slightly different way but that works ok

Barcode Scanner in question doesnt support USB port. We have been told that one of other clients managed to get this working by Net use com8 \\client\com1: /persistent:no
Citrix suggests that its possible to map a com port.
Are you suggesting that it will not be possible to map port for a barcode sc?anner over citrix or its straight away not possible to map a com1 port over citrix ?

Com any where solution from intellidriver or elsewhere will not be helpful, im afraid.
I simply want to get something like net use com1: \\client\com1: working for me. If Citrix is advising a similar solution then why would it not work?

We will eventually be leaving citrix altogether so not bothered about upgrades
We use scanner to scan barcodes, these barcodes are then downloaded to a retail program. My problem is that when i do "net use" com port doesnt come up as mapped. Im using citrix local client instead of a web plug in and connecting to one application only but this has not helped
when i do \\tsclient\c on my citrix server. it displays contents of my pc
