Peer to Peer problems

Guest

I have two Win2K machines with nic 10/100 and cable. I have setup peer to peer and I can get either direction into the other computer. Here is the dilemma: In my computer I use My Network Places, Computers Near Me, then choose Keith (my husband's computer. However when it opens it shows his hdd named Linda. It is his hdd but has my name on it for some reason. What did I do wrong when I set up the peer to peer and how do I correct it?

Thanks, Linda

When you share a folder or drive, you give the share a name. It is this
name which you see when you connect through Computers Near Me. On your
husband's computer open Windows Explorer, right click on the shared drive,
and select Properties. Select the Sharing tab and you can change the share
name to C or whatever you want.
