Mapping a drive across VPN
#1
Hi
I am after help with mapping a drive at a university please.  VPN connection has been established however the instructions to map the drive are for Windows, using 'NET USE' command.

The instructions that we have been given are:

Access to SHFC Department Folders (The N Drive)
1. Press the windows start button (located bottom left).
2. Select the Run command, a dialogue box will open entitled “Run”.
3. Type the following :
NET USE N: \\nfc456gh\squid$
4. Press the enter button.
5. A window will open asking for your username (use the username and
password you use for accessing email or outweb), type the following:
Enterprise\your username
Example : enter\addv606
6. You will now be prompted for a password; enter your current password.
7. The N Drive will now be mapped.
domain = aavpn.london.ac.uk

The terminal command I have been messing about with, based on these instructions is:
sudo mount.cifs //aavpn.london.ac.uk/nfc456ghi/squid$ ~/drive-N -o username=enter\addv606,password=orange

The error I get is:
mount error(115):  Operation now in progress. Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

What on gods earth am I doing wrong.  Help will be hugely appreciated.
