Is it possible to access a share on a DOS only PC from XP
Pro? I have a client that uses a DOS only machine that
holds a database of codes that run a press, we are
upgrading their machines. The new PCs have XP Pro, the
old PCs have W2K Pro. You cannot see the DOS PC in W2K
Pro but you could map a drive using the UNC. I can not do
either in XP.

Am I going to have to use Virtual PC?
 
I personally don't have any problem in accessing neither XP boxes from DOS
machines nor in reverse order. Wadda ya run on DOS boxes?
 
Thanks for the quick reply. They are running 6.22 on the
DOS box, I am not sure of the name of the software they
run. What protocol(s) are you using on your DOS box, and
is it a DOS only box?
 
I figured it out, I needed to use the NetBEUI tool on the
XP Pro CD to install NetBEUI on XP Pro
