Determine Mapping Path |
When you map the Q: drive via the AFS client, you'll substitute your own computer host name and an '-afs' qualifier for the 'proxy-afs' host name that is normally used with the plain mapping method.
The way to tell NT that a mapped drive should go through the AFS client is to add '-afs' to the host name. For example, if my computer name is sd-terrapin, the path for a mapped drive that goes through the AFS client starts with \\sd-terrapin-afs
In this example, instead of mapping the Q: drive to \\proxy-afs\desktop, we would map the Q: drive to \\sd-terrapin-afs\desktop
Note: If the host name is longer than 11 characters, truncate it at 11 characters (see examples below).
Mapping examples:
| Computer Name |
Map Q: to Path |
| sd-terrapin |
\\sd-terrapin-afs\desktop |
| minglewood |
\\minglewood-afs\desktop |
| fennario |
\\fennario-afs\desktop |
| vermicelli |
\\vermicelli-afs\desktop |
| verylonghostname |
\\verylonghos-afs\desktop |

Map the Q: drive via AFS |
Note: You can find the 'Map Network Drive' menu item in several locations. For these instructions, we'll use Windows Explorer.
- If the Q: drive is currently mapped to \\proxy-afs\desktop, you need to disconnect it. In Windows Explorer, pull down the Tools menu and select Disconnect Network Drive. Select the Q: drive in the list and then click the OK button.
- In Windows Explorer, pull down the Tools menu and select Map Network Drive.
- In the Map Network Drive window:
- In the Drive: field, select Q:
- In the Path: field, enter the AFS client path using your host name as discussed above.
- Make sure the Reconnect at Login option is checked.
- Click OK to map the Q: drive.
