I have 2 workgroup boxes that I just upgraded to XP SP2. One of them has a
USB drive that I need to map to from the other box. It is shared just like
the rest of the ide drives, but I cannot map to it or even browse it from the
other PC. I can see it and it respondss when I remove shares, rename, etc.
I also can see it fine from the PC that it is attached to. This all worked
fine when they were W2K. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Can you still access shares on the 'host' computer's hard drive just as you
did before?
