Hmm... I have no Shared resources folder....! Could the fact that I'm using a 
cmd file to logon and setup shares be the problem? Would there also be a Net 
command I could use from within this cmd file to setup the shared comm port? 
Here's a sample of my cmd file:
=== Begin mine.cmd ===
logon mike /P:MIKEY
net share golded=c:\bt
net share bbsdrve=d:\
net share maindr=c:\
net share hpsf=e:\
net use i: \\win95\c
net use j: \\win95\d
net use lpt1 \\win95\hp
cd\ibmlan\netprog
start /min netmsg
=== End mine.cmd ===
