Hi all,
I can't map a network drive with my XP home edition. I
hear there is a few setting in XP to allow mapping
drives. I have tried mapping thru UNC and IP, but no luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am about to
throw this lap top out the window.

Thanks,
Joe

1. can you ping each other?
2. if yes, what do you get if using net view \\remotepc\sharedname.

1.Yes I can ping to all my servers IP addresses not the
server name.
2. I get an error saying the network path can not be found

So far I am not liking XP. Every other MS OS has no
problem mapping drives until this one.

Thanks,
Joe
 
I wish you told us the error. any way if it is system error 5, it is
permission issue; if 53, this is name resolution issue.
