Mounting Pantheon Space as a Drive
Your Pantheon file space can be mounted as a drive on your computer. This allows you to treat your Pantheon space like any other drive on your computer, and provides easy management of the files on your Pantheon space.
On cluster machines in computer labs, your Pantheon space should automatically be mounted when you log in. You can probably find a link to it on the desktop, named with your NetID. If it is not on the desktop on PCs, it is probably drive H: under My Computer.
You can also mount your Pantheon space on any computer on the Yale network. If you have a non-Yale Internet provider, you can make your computer act as if it is on the Yale network with Virtual Private Networking.
If you need further assistance, please request help from a Student Tech.
Where NetID is written below, insert your own NetID.
-
Windows 95, 98, and Me Users: If you have the Client for Microsoft Networking installed on your computer, you will be
prompted to enter login information when Windows starts. Do not click Cancel. Enter your NetID for the user name, leave the password field
blank, and click OK.
-
Click on the Start menu and select Run. In the Run box, type \\pantheon\NetID.
If that does not work, you should instead try \\130.132.52.12\NetID or \\pantheon.yale.edu\NetID.
-
After a few moments, you should be prompted for your password.
Windows 95, 98, and Me: Enter your NetID password, then click OK.
Windows NT, 2000, and XP: Enter yale\netID in the "Connect As" box and your NetID password in the "Password" box.
Then click OK.
-
You should now be connected to your Pantheon space.
If you want to assign a drive letter (e.g., H:) to your Pantheon file space, right-click on the My Computer icon and choose
Map Network Drive. Choose a drive letter in the Drive box, enter \\pantheon\NetID (or
whichever path worked in step 2) in the Path box, and click OK.
Troubleshooting
Problem: You enter your password (and username, if appropriate) correctly when prompted, but you are still denied access.
There are a few common solutions to this problem:
-
Make sure your NetID has been set up for use with the YALE Windows domain. Changing your password from the
Network Passwords at Yale page will accomplish this.
-
If you are using Windows 95, 98, or Me, you need to make sure you log onto the Microsoft Network using your NetID. This user name is entered
shortly after the machine boots up. If you enter a name other than your NetID (or hit cancel on the dialog box that requests your user name),
you will be unable to access your Pantheon file space using Samba. Note: We recommend that you leave the "password" field blank when
you log into Microsoft Networking from your own Windows 95, 98, or Me computer.
-
If you are using Windows 95, 98, or Me, your client for Microsoft Networks Properties should have the Windows NT domain specified as yale.
Here are instructions on how to set this up.
-
If you are using Windows NT, 2000, or XP, make sure that you are entering yale\netid when you are prompted to
"Enter Network Password" after entering \\pantheon\netid in the Run box.
Scratch Space
Scratch space is a large amount of temporary storage space available to Pantheon users. This space is cleared regularly, so is not for long-term storage. It can be useful for briefly housing large files, as long as you abide by scratch space policies.
You can access scratch space by the instructions above; simply enter smb://pantheon.its.yale.edu/scratch instead of smb://pantheon.its.yale.edu/NetID.
