Possible,  but I don't recall any particular difficulty offhand.

Do you have a CMD file snippet you would care to share?  I think I remember
your mentioning this once before,  now I see the reason for it...

I did get to where I tried logging off and back on again.  The "start" choice
was what got it going...

I don't know,  but it's working okay now.

Your NET USE idea sounds good,  how does it tell when it's been connected
okay?
