I received my crossover cable today and I configured it all correctly, main PC IP 192.198.0.1, Server IP 192.198.0.2 Subnet 255.255.255.0 both on workgroup ZDY, both PCs responded when I pinged the other but when I go to share the Hard Drives on my server, I set the sharing properties correctly, check "Share this drive over a network" and select "Allow network users to change my files" yet the drive never shows up on my other PC, why is this and how can I fix it?
I'm using ZoneAlarm btw but I put the Local Area Connection as "Trusted" so it should all be good
EDIT NEVERMIND, read below post

Oh, never mind, I had to go to My Network Places...is there a way I can get these drives to show up in "My Computer" with a drive letter?

I do not think thats how it works but you could create a short cut to the device in NP and add it to desktop for easy access

Yes you can - in my computer select tools > map network drive.

Type in \\192.168.0.2\D$

Where D is the share name or drive letter. You only need the $ sign at the end if mapping a drive letter.
