  1. Network drives

    U:>net use

    New connections will be remembered.

     OK           K:        \\me-stata3\stata14       Microsoft Windows Network
     OK           L:        \\me-stata3\stata15       Microsoft Windows Network
                  S:        \\me-filer1\groups$\MGEU\Factors\High_dimensional_genetics\Olink\INF1
                                                      Microsoft Windows Network
                  U:        \\me-filer1.medschl.cam.ac.uk\home$\jhz22
                                                      Microsoft Windows Network
                  V:        \\ME-FILER1\GROUPS$\MEU   Microsoft Windows Network
                  W:        \\ME-FILER1\GROUPS$\MGEU  Microsoft Windows Network
                  X:        \\me-filer1\groups3$\CEU-Biobank data
                                                 Microsoft Windows Network
     The command completed successfully.
    

    The user profile is available from \\me-filer2.medschl.cam.ac.uk\profiles$\CRSid.v#, and is again handy to map it to a drive, e.g., via MS-DOS,

    net use Z: \me-filer2.medschl.cam.ac.uk\profiles$\CRSid.v#

    The AppData/Roaming directory can be used when appropriate. In case of error(s), a run as administrator from a cmd session with sfc/scannow to fix.

  2. An example output from getmac -v.

     U:\>getmac -v
    
     Connection Name Network Adapter Physical Address    Transport Name

     vEthernet (nat) Hyper-V Virtual 00-15-5D-23-52-3D   \Device\Tcpip_{1B4E8617-BC29-4833-A456-C0C64A493AFE}
     VirtualBox Host VirtualBox Host 0A-00-27-00-00-0B   \Device\Tcpip_{53CCE470-7C3C-40AB-91B0-A892285AA122}

    In this case, the last line is what is needed.

  3. To check for the active status, ping from a CLI (Linux/Windows MS-DOS prompt, invoke with Windows key + r, type in "cmd" in the box and hit the return key) and issue

    ping CMPCxxx.medschl.private.cam.ac.uk

    where (xxx is the serial number, e.g., 357, on the desktop at the office). Equivalently, one can use ping 172.27.11.159. The IP address is also the one in the remote desktop connection dialog box. It appears helpful when the computer is restarted for updates.
