Step 1
Right click on the My Computer icon on the desktop and select "Map Network Drive"
Step 2
Select any free drive letter (we will use M in this example) and enter the path for the drive in the Folder: box. The path for waisman network drives always begins with the name of our fileserver:
\\wcs.waisman.wisc.edu\
then add your username at the end. If your username was smith then the path would be:
\\wcs.waisman.wisc.edu\smith
Step 3
Click "Connect using a different username" and enter
waisman\your-username
If your waisman username was smith, you would enter:

Then click finish. Your personal network drive should be connected
as drive M.
