[MLB-WIRELESS] Where to go for technical help?

[Jarrod Crane]

Hi all,

That could have been because NetBEUI is not routable....but in the 
TCP/IP settings u can allow NetBIOS over TCP/IP which will allow you to 
map drives over different subnets etc.. by using  \\IP_ADRESS\SHARE_NAME

Cheers,

Jarrod.
