File Server over network

Well, here's how to map a network drive in Windows 7:

First in "My computer" select Map Network Drive. As you can see below I already have one mapped from my server "Ninebreaker".




Then, select the drive letter you want to use and click browse, or manually type the address: //[server name or IP]/[path]




Lastly, if going through the browse, you should come up with this window, just select the server from the list, then the folder or hard drive that's shared and you're done. The mapped drive should pop up in "My Computer". As you can see, My main rig (Dragons-Crest) and the server (Ninebreaker), the later one listing the folders that are shared.





Hope it helps, let me know if you need anything else *Big Grin

EDIT: Just saw you use Server 2012... I never actually used it, but it should be very similar, since mapping hard drives on older windows was basically the same as on 7.

Whats the specs on your server? CPU wise. I was thinking about buying the E8500, 4GB of DDR2 1066 and a micro atx LGA775 board from the for sale section for mine to start out.
