Hi all and esp Chadley. I need his shared dir on his computer. What will it be called on his computer? I also will need a password and user name on his box. Should I have him create an account for me with a password, or use an already existing account/password. The sambaserver sort of confuses me. I am letting him view a directory on my machine? Where do I add an ip address? or do I. This is a bit confusing. Thanks so far Aaron
