Vicky, Thanks for your comments. I did essentially what you did but got an error message and can't seem to connect to my c drive at all, even though I can connect just fine through the network to the internet. Something seems to be locking me out. Probably some setting somewhere in xp home.

But, using the PK here is what I did to get to the SharedDocs folder on my PC; and, yes, grin, I'm sure it is probably the long and repetitive way around things. First, I went to the options/connectivity menu and turned wireless on, and told it to reconnect using existing configurations. Then, I pressed backspace and enter with w to get to the folder name prompt. Then, I hit the backspace to get to the drive list, and then spaced down to network and pressed enter. Then, at the network place prompt, I pressed the space bar to get to browse entire network and pressed enter. Then, at the network server prompt, I entered the name of the computer to which I wanted to connect and pressed enter. Then, at the network folder prompt, I hit the space bar and got the prompt of network server user name, so I entered my SBC user name and pressed enter. Then, at the password prompt, I entered my SBC password and pressed enter. I also told it to update the current logon information and then pressed e chord to exit the dialogue, but I then answered no to saving my network password on the device. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Bishop" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 21, 2005 8:41 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] 6.1 and network drives Paul, Did you have to set up another login account on your machine? Just wondering what you did with the user name and password. I set up a separate account on my xp home machine, but sure can't log into it.

What I eventually did was to type in Paul into the server name. That is my computer's name. However, I think that family remained in the domain name. I never could get it to stay deleted. I did finally get things working and even opened a word document, spellchecked it a saved it back to my D drive. Pretty neat.
