Hi All,

I am having a mental block!

Direct cable connection between two machines (host - W98SE, guest XP). I
have established the connection okay, and have shared the root on the host
machine. But HOW do I locate the hosts shared drive on the guest machine?

I have tried searching for other computers on the network, mapping network
drive using the host's computer name, but it does not find anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks very much in advance.
