sharing folder of a network connected drive

Hi
I would like to know how i can create a shared folder on a drive that I had
connected using "map network" tab.
To do this should I connect as local administrator or use my domain user id
with admin rights. I tried both ways but I'm unable to see "sharing and
security" when i right click on networked folder. I can see same for my local
drive folder.I'm on WindowsXp.
Sorry for any mistakes.This is my first one here.

it doesn't matter you logon local or domain administrator. Did you format the drive as NTFS?
