I can't access my files

If this happens under Linux, all you can do is tell me. However, it is more common to have trouble accessing your files from Windows. Your home directory should show up automatically as drive H:, but the icon may disappear if the Windows PC crashes. A reboot will often clear this up, but if it fails, you need to tell the computer about drive H:.

To do this, open a command prompt and type

net use H: \\spaces.statslab.cam.ac.uk\username

replacing ``username'' with your username. Enter your username and password, and if the command completes successfully, you should now be able to access your home directory as drive H:. This procedure will also work from laptops connected to the wired CMS laptop network or using eduroam.
