===== Manual network drive connection =====
If your computer is not connected to Active Directory, you can map a network drive manually.

Open My Computer (you can hold down **Windows key** and type **'E'**). From the menu "**Tools**" choose "**Map Network Drive...**". Alternatively you can right click on **This PC**.

In the "**Map Network Drive**" dialogue box, select a Drive letter (normally ''P:'' is used for personal and ''W:'' is used for common shared folder). Shared folders can be mapped unless permissions forbid it.

To establish connection, type the path for the server and shared resource in the **Folder** box. Depending on which shared folder you wish to connect to, type in one of the following lines:  

**        Home directory (''P:'' drive)**
            MPG
            \\winfs-mpg.top.gwdg.de\userid$
            
            Göttingen University
            \\winfs-uni.top.gwdg.de\userid$
            
            GWDG
            \\winfs-gwd.top.gwdg.de\userid$
            
            Others
            \\winfs-son.top.gwdg.de\userid$

\\
**        Group directory (''W:'' drive)**
            \\winfs-all.top.gwdg.de\share_$
            \\wfs-uni.top.gwdg.de\share$
            \\fs-all.top.gwdg.de\share$

\\
**        Other directories **
           \\wfs-msiso.top.gwdg.de\iso$

<WRAP center round info 80%> Note: the **userid** or **share** need to be replaced with your own specific information, and the **$** sign must be added after directory path.
