If you can map but see it in Network, it could be computer browser issue. Have you enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP?

Have two computer. One is Vista premium (32-bit) and the other Win XP Media.

The XP can see the shared C: drive on the Vista. However, Vista can't see the shared C: drive on XP. Yet, Vista can map a drive letter using \\station1\c format. (station1 is XP).

So if I can map a drive letter, why can't Vista see the XP drive in the Network icon? All it sees is itself (station2).

Thx.
