Re: How to share D:

Hello Enkidu,

OK, I've done some testing and the thing that I tripped over was the
firewall. In XP the firewall prevents another computer from connecting
to a share on your computer.

Nope, we both were wrong. At first I used D$ and then changed to D: which was wrong too, then back to D$. However the correct name is plain D, now it works as expected.

Thanks for your time Enkidu.

??? D$ is correct. I'm not sure why it works differently for you. I just tested.

Cheers,

Cliff
