Creating Batch File to Map Network Drive

Creating Batch File to Map Network Drive

If you want to save time by creating a batch file that when you click on it it will automatically map the drive for you.  Or if the map network drive keep disconnecting every time you restart your computer, then you can put the batch file in the start up folder so that it run every log in. 

  1. Open Notepad (Start>Run>Type Notepad or Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad)
  2. Type @echo Create new L: drive mapping (The drive letter could be any letter)
  3. Type @net use L: \\Network path /persistent: yes (The Network path is the path where you want to mapped to)
  4. If you want to mapped multiple drive just keep repeating step 2 and 3
  5. Type :exit
  6. @pause
  7. Click File and select Save As
  8. Navigate to where you want to save it
  9. Name it and Make sure at the end of the name you add .bat
  10. Click OK
  11. Now navigate to where you save it and click on it
  12. A command prompt should appear
  13. Then Press any key to exit

It should looks something like this:

@echo Create new L: drive mapping
@net use L: \\network path /persistent:yes
@echo Create new K: drive mapping
@net use K: \\network path /persistent:yes
:exit

Data & MMS for Jailbroken Devices Iphone 4s 5.1.1 Straight Talk

First of all your phone has to be on 5.1.1 and jailbroken at the time of this writing.

  • 1. On your jailbroken iPhone, launch Cydia
  • 2. Search for TetherMe, then purchase it for $5 and install it
  • (I added ihacksrepo.com to the sources and installed from there.)
  • 3. After TetherMe is installed, exit Cydia and go to your home screen
  • 4. Open Settings/General/Network/Cellular Data Network
  • This is what your settings should look like. Fill in the fields on your iPhone as follows:
    Cellular Data
    APN: att.mvno
    Username:
    Password:
    MMS
    APN: att.mvno
    Username:
    Password:
    MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
    MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33:80
    MMS Max Size: 1048576
    MMS UA Prof URL:

Note: If you get TetherMe then you don’t need to go to unlockit website as TetherMe allows you to set all the settings.
You need to uninstall that apn profile and then make sure all settings in the TetherMe app are correct.
The unlockit.co.nz profile conflicts with the TetherMe app from Cydia.
The easiest way is Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

 

Information available from Straight Talk http://www.straighttalksim.com/support.php

The MMS proxy can be replaced with it’s DNSname mms2.tracfone.com:80 and it will also work.

sudo sh autodl-setup
