Overview

If you have a Novell-based network account at W&L, you can use one of
several methods to access your network files from off-campus (see

NetDrive

|
NetDrive uses a piece of locally installed software to map a drive in

using familiar tools such as Windows Explorer or My Computer. You can open and save
network files directly from an application such as Microsoft Word. NetDrive
works best with a high speed connection.
