Try using the UNC...... From "Help and Support"
******************************
Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
A convention for naming files and other resources beginning with two backslashes (\), indicating
that the resource exists on a network computer. UNC names conform to the \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME
syntax, where SERVERNAME is the server's name and SHARENAME is the name of the shared resource. The
UNC name of a directory or file can also include the directory path after the share name, with the
following syntax: \\SERVERNAME\SHARENAME\DIRECTORY\FILENAME.

I am able to setup and connect to a computer at work from my laptop at home. However when I
browse to use the MSHOME network at work I can't see or access the work computer's C: drive or any
other maped drives to the work computer. I need help in what might be wrong, knowing what to do to
be able browse both work computer and it's mapped drives, and also someplace to get more complete
information and directions other than the help and support section of Windows XP on my computer
which is limited.
