Hi people, I am writing an application using .NET and the Windows Script Host Library to read shortcut files from a folder. Some of the shortcut files point to a destination that is on another computer. Let us say I have two PCs named \\foo and \\bar, both running Windows XP Pro. I create a shortcut to D:\files\ on \\bar and I save it on my desktop on Foo. My application [WshShortcut.TargetPath] says that the shortcut points to D:\files, as if on my computer (\\foo) instead of \\bar. But when I double click on the shortcut, somehow Windows resolves the correct path and opens the directory on \\bar. Is there a way that I can resolve this network/UNC path programmatically? Can I make WshShortcut figure out the correct path? Thanks.

Still doesn't work. I was thinking that, perheps it could be because I am usin a bac-to-back connection (using a crossover vable). I installed WinProxy but I find it a bit complicated to use. Is there any other way I can use?

thanks, will try that out

Hi there, I have this problem that I have been trying to fix with no success. My PC runs Windows2K Professional. I opened the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) dialog and checked the Enable ICS checkbox but I did not see an "Enable on demand dialling" dialog box. Is it always there or is there some service or something that I need to install? 2ndly, My PC (Windows 2000) has the dial up connection and I am using a crossover cable to connect to a PC running Windows 98. I want my W2K PC to be the gateway through which the Win98 PC connects to the web. FYI, both PCs can ping each other and I can surf using my W2K which accesses the web via a dial-up connection. The other PC [Win98] cannot, however, access the net or receive a reply from my one of my ISP's servers when I ping. I have been to support.Mcft.com but I haven't received all the information that I need, i.e, Do I setup both computers with a private IP? And if I use my Win@K PC as the gateway, I will need to configure the other PC's connection settings; what port number do I use for the gateway's proxy? If you can help me solve this, you can go to bed knowing you've made my day. Thanks
