ISSUE:

Why Should LASTDRIVE be G: or Greater?

LASTDRIVE is a DOS command that is executed at boot time from the
CONFIG.SYS file. The NetWare Lite NET utility uses LASTDRIVE to
identify valid drives and provide compatibility with other NetWare
products. The installation programs default value of LASTDRIVE=M:
should work for most situations. If you wish to use a value other
than M:, be aware that LASTDRIVE should be set to G: or greater for
NET to run. LASTDRIVE is set by including a command such as
"LASTDRIVE=G:" in CONFIG.SYS. If you attempt to run NET with
LASTDRIVE set lower than the G: drive or not set, you will have to
increase the value of LASTDRIVE and reboot before any NET command can
be executed.

When LASTDRIVE is set to the F: drive, network directories can be
mapped to any drive letter up to LASTDRIVE (except C: if SERVER is
loaded). However, the F: drive must be mapped to map D: or E: drive.
If the situation occurs where the D: or E: drive is mapped and the F:
drive is not mapped, the LASTDRIVE error message will result upon
execution of the next NET command. To avoid this problem set
LASTDRIVE to the G: drive or greater.
