I have 2 desktop pc's, I was able to map one to the server but I need a
little help on adding the 2nd one. Do I use the same drive letter that I used
on the other one and what do I use as the folder name? Sorry this question
may pretty basic for you, but I'm just learning. Thank You in advance.

For a mapped network drive, the drive letter is a property of the client PC.
So different clients may use either the same or different drive letters to
map to the same server folder.

The folder name is the share name given by the server PC to the folder, so it
must be the same for all clients mapping to that share; something like:
\\ServerPC\ShareName$. Note that ShareName (or, in my example, ShareName$)
is an alias for the actual folder name.
 
Thank You so much! I did fail to mention I have a 1 server and 2 servers that
are peer to peer, does that change anything of what you told me? Lana
