This link has a lot of good info on connecting to Windows XP shares. I have to assume that is what you are using because you never said.

ok, upon more tinkering I have found that using the connect to server button I can specify the computer and access it just fine. But I can't use the network servers button to view the entire network which is what I want. Any Ideas...... Oh and I connect to almost all windows versions, primarily 2000, and XP thoughhttp://www.google.ca/
