Sharing a mapped drive

[Guest]

I have a drive mapped on my computer (S.

I would like to share this drive with the users in my workgroup. However,
when I right-click on the drive in Windows Explorer, I do not see an option
for sharing.

Is it possible for me to share a mapped drive with my workgroup? If so, how
would I accomplish this?

Thank you-

Marvmck,

The drive has already been shared, which is why you were able to map it.

You can map it from another computer the same way you mapped it on this
computer.

Please post once only.

Cheers,

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Thanks for the reply, Chuck-

I didn't mean to post twice however, there was some glitch in this system
when I posted the first time. I wasn't sure the first post took.

More descriptively, I have a "mapped drive" that is a drive I access over
the internet to a service that I subscribe to. I wanted to be able to share
this in our internal workgroup.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks-

You might want to consider using a newsreader like Outlook Express or Forte
Agent rather than the web interface to the newsgroups - you won't see
problems like this very often, if so. And it's a lot easier to do nearly
everything if you use a newsreader, including searching, which is always a
good idea to do before you post, as well as mark messages to be watched, and
filter based on replies to your posts.

The Microsoft public news server is msnews.microsoft.com and you can
subscribe to as many groups as you like.

No, it isn't possible. You cannot share something that doesn't reside on
your computer.
