The advanced networking capabilities of Windows 2000 allows students to connect to other computers all over campus and map network drives. Users can map a drive on the network by right clicking on the My Network Places icon and then selecting Map Network Drive . They then should choose the drive letter that they want to map, enter the address of the machine to which they want to map, and choose whether or not they want to reconnect automatically at logon. They can either browse on the network and find the computer to which they want to map or they can type in the address by hand. Many classes distribute files necessary for classes over the network.
Users can then look through the directories until they find the one that corresponds to their class.
