How browse using IP address?

[George]

I just have a few PC's networked together with a LinkSys router on DSL.

INTERNALLY, is there any way I can use PC#1 to "browse" the files on PC#2 by
just keying in an IP address or something in my Internet explorer (IE6)
browser? How do I know what to key in? I know about WinXP file sharing
(it's easy) but was curious about the IP address approach. I did, however,
have problems getting the ENTIRE c:drive on PC#2 to share...gives access
denied message.

Thanks,
George

George,
To browse for shares using an ip address, in either IE or Windows Exporer,
in the address bar type \\IP Address\ (ie \\192.168.10.10\)
