okk yeah so the C drive is being shared under "Andrews C" so yeah i type in \\A_Zip1\Andrews C and.... its saiz "Windows Cannot find "\\A_Zip1\Andrews C". check the spelling and try again......" .. so yeah and i double checked on my other computer to make sure it was sharing the file and that that was the computer name and all that.... and i thought meybe my win98 was FAT32 and meybe that was why, but nope its running NTFS like my win2k3 comp... so i dunno?... any more suggesting?.
