CHAPTER 3 Share Drives and Printers

It may take several minutes for the PC to appear in Network Neighborhood.
If it does not appear, see "I can’t see a network PC from another PC" on
page 51.
You can view the mapped drives on your own PC by looking in the
following places:
• Network Neighborhood
• My Computer
• Windows desktop icons (shortcuts)
• Open and Save file dialog boxes
• Sharing and Mapping Software
• Windows Explorer
Use files across the network
When you have access to drives from other PCs on the network, you can
open files as though the drive is physically attached to your PC.
Viewing video files across the network
Video files that you download off the Internet (or create with a PC camera)
can be viewed on most connected PCs. PCs with less than 32MB of RAM
may experience problems viewing video. PCs with Pentium II processors
(and later versions) using 64 MB RAM (or more) and Windows Media
Note: If you are a Windows 2000 user and have installed the
AnyPoint Connection Manager (ACM), the sharing and mapping
software only shares information for the drives when it detects an
AnyPoint adapter in the active profile. With a different network
profile, different shared drives are visible.
