Ran into a couple days ago, here is what I did go to my computer and map the
drive. Example C is shared on XPh so you click my computer XPp and select
tools then map network drive in the text box type either ip or computer name
(\\192.168.1.255\c or \\helen\c ) click ok the computer will connect the
drive and place an icon in your my computer window. Now when you browse you
will find it. After you have completed what you want to do you can right
click that mapped drive and select disconnect to remove it.
