APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11



This article was previously published under Q108014

SYMPTOMS

When you run the NET USE * /HOME command, you receive the following error message even though you have used the correct syntax:

The syntax is incorrect.
For help, type NET USE /?

CAUSE

If the error message is immediately displayed after typing the command and pressing ENTER, you are probably using incorrect syntax. If the message is returned after a brief delay (a few seconds), there is a problem with your Windows NT or LAN Manager home directory configuration.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, contact your network administrator to verify the home directory configuration.

MORE INFORMATION

Using NET USE * /HOME from Multiple MS-DOS Command Prompts

If you use the NET USE * /HOME command from more than one MS-DOS command prompt within Windows for Workgroups, your current directory will not be set correctly. Your current directory will be the root of the server containing your home directory instead of your default home directory.
