running net use from dos

hi all!

i wanted to run windows xp unattended installation on my 5
computers but didnt want to run them individually so i
tried the unattended option. the problem is i cannot
connect to the installation files on the network because
when i use net use it doesnt work. it only works from
command prompt of any machine running windows and i havent
installed anything on my new machines. can i use net use
from dos or any other command based utility to accomplish
this?

thanks in advance.
