Default 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
