the home PC network enigma

Steven Avery:
Hi,

For actually mapping and unmapping, I switched to Softperfect Network Scanner (freeware, and recommended by 4Sysops,
Softperfect is a very neat company). Seems to make it much simpler, almost as an afterthought.  So my network is going ok now,
I think. Well I am noticing that to share a full drive they want to go through "Shared Docs' which is a little strange.  Maybe I will simply
do it by two distinct folders.  (The way I have it, one does not work.) - Correction - now the drive shows up as its own drive.

Addition: even Eudora came up just fine. With a warning about the dual instances.  True multi-access.  Vue-Minder calendar I did
right away, excellent.  I would like to do Stickies but he makes that a registry entry to share so it has to be done carefully.

Softperfect shows you the shares and has a very simple and crisp mapping (right-click) option, with persistency included.
They have a disconnect menu item that unmaps. All fine.

 However, I don't think this will help me with DriveHQ and remote places,
it is just simplifying home network functioning.

My other project is a Linux boot attempt.

Soft

Steven
