Ok.
1. Create folder c:\share and then go to properties and create/name share.
2. right click my computer go to 'map network drive'
3. try to browse to local machine c:\share ... I can't get to the local
machine unless I go thru the 'entire network'.. and then ONLY if the machine
is connected to a network...ANY network. (the machine belongs to a
domain...and we login away from the domain using cache).

So...anytime that I am NOT connected... I can't map this drive..or worse
yet, my wireless connection goes down and my mapped drive is dosconnected,
therefore bringing my mapped app crashing to the floor. (Trying to decide if
i want 5.8 ghz wireless network cards, or 5.8 phones...and I will take
comments on this issue as well.)
So, what's the solution? How do I map to the local machine?
Will I have to create local user and login that way?

It was on fire when I sat down on it...
That's my story and I'm stickin to it.
