Hi Will,

WH> That's not a Microsoft trick - Warp does it, too.
As I subsequently found.....;-) I had problems with it on a machine running
Fixpak 16, but have since found that Fixpack 29 seems to be ok. The "trick"
is that the resource is not browsable, BUT if you know it you can type the
resoucename explicitly and the connection is built and shows in the
connecting and sharing folder ok, at least between consenting Warp
machine...;-) Now to try it with the actual NT share and see how it goes.
Thanks......pk.
