I've lived in the Domain world to long, I need map a drive with XP Home...
This all seems to work so much easier in XP Pro, and I really haven't done
much with XP Home... I did the Network Setup Wizard. I told it I was using the Internet through another computer and turned on File and Print sharing. On the Connections screen it says all the Network Hardware is disconnected, so I checked Ignore disconnected network hardware. Workgroup is MSHOME, the default. When I brouse to the ...Microsoft Windows Network\MSHOME folder the PC doesn't show up in that folder. I need to map a drive to a local share and when I do it says it can't find the server. I'm using \\PC11\sharename I'm guessing if it can't see the PC (its self) it won't map the drive. I'm testing a demo HP Mini (a netbook). I'd run XP Pro but the demo unit only has Home... "The mapped network drive could not be created becase the following error has occured: The network location cannot be reached." I'm guessing this is an easy fix, but I can't figure it out... Can someone help me out here? Thanks Kelvin |
