Hello all,
I help out with IT at our local rescue squad where I am a member and need a bit of help. I am trying to install software that requires the use of data files from another computer on the internal network I setup. I mapped the folder that was necessary and have total access to it through windows explorer, both read & write. For some reason I am unable to see that mapped drive as a choice in the drop down menu within the install portion of the software. It list the usual C drive & periph. Where do programs pull their list of "available drives" from? Is this something I can force through editing? I have edited the hosts file and added the IP & name of the computer that contains the data files so I could try and type the address directly with no results.
Some info:
Computer on which I am trying to install software is Vista Home Basic.
Computer from which I need to access the data files is XP Pro.
The network shows everything properly including shared folders, drives, etc. I can even Remote Desktop between the two so I am at a loss. I have searched extensively for this type of scenario on Google with no results that pertain directly to this problem. Any help would be appreciated.
