sorry for the delay - i've been out of the country. On your xp pro box , right click on your drive that you want to share, and select sharing & security. Select share this folder as and give it a name. Click okay. On your win 2k AS box, browse you network neighbourhood, fine your xp box - open it up, right click on the folder corresponding to the shared drive on the xp box, and select map network drive. From there, map it to a free drive letter. You can now access that drive from your win 2k box.
All the above presumes ser=veral things:
1. Both xp & win2k AS are on the same domain or workgroup.
2. You know the login details of the xp machine if you are running a workgroup.
3. You have all the correct servics running on xp to enable file sharing in the first place - i say this because i started tweaking my services a couple of weeks ago to gain a speed increase on startup, and ended updisabling the services necessary for file sharing.
If you need some more help on this issue, just say.
