network: can't

[piaqt]

All the drive icons in 'My network places/ entire network" appear locked. When I left OR right click any of them, I get an error message "Unable to browse the network. Request not supported" AND, usually, a system crash and error report dialog box. Any ideas?

Have you set the drives to shared?

HOW?

In "My Computer" got to the particular drive that you want to share on the network, right-click on it, select the sharing tab, select the "i undersatnd that its dangerious blah blah" link, they you can use the Network wiz , or just click the "i understand blah blah" link and set it to "just enable file sharing" either way will work

Youch! :ohno. sounds like your problem might be with a lunched OS, rather than a network issue. does the computer show any other dodgy behavior? also, what kind of drives are u trying to access? other XP computers? check to make sure everything in your network is open to the computer (e.i. no guest statuses set up, etc.). Other than that, i cant think of ne thing except a format.
