by Hanz Makmur – Jul 20, 2015

If your computer IP is allowed to connect, below are steps to follow to mount Network Shares available on LCSRServer or koko.rutgers.edu for machines that are not part of compsci.rutgers.edu domain.

Important: You are required to have a special “Windows Domain” account to login.

Follow these steps below to start. Note: Pictures shows mounting a resource named: “lcsr-dcis”.

 

  • Click Computer icon on the left to enable Map network Drive option.
  • Click on Map network Drive and a window below will open.

     

  • Select a drive option. L is selected in the picture.
  • To mount a share named lcsr-dcis, Enter Folder name: \\koko.rutgers.edu\lcsr-dcis
  • To mount your Unix/Linux home directory, Enter Folder name: \\koko.rutgers.edu\your_netid.
  • Check the check box [x] Reconnect at Logon if you want it to be connected again on your next login
  • Check the check box [x] Connect using different credential to login under compsci.rutgers.edu domain credential.
  • Click finish and a window below will open to ask for your credential

     

  • Make sure you enter: compsci.rutgers.edu\your_netid. Don’t forget to swap “your_netid” with your actual netid.
