PC

To get started right click on the My Computer or This PC icon located on your Desktop or on your Start Menu and select the Map Network Drive options from the pop up menu.

  1. You will need to enter your connection information. Make sure to include the full server name (\\puget) and check the reconnect at logon box.
  2. If you are not logged in with an account that has access to the folder you are trying to access you can click on the link for Connect using a different user name and enter in the correct credentials.
