Question about 'Setting up Dial-Up Networking'

I have a question about Setting up Dial-Up Networking:

I have tried to access a network, and used the \\serverroom command, yet it doesn't work, any ideas?

There is no such command.

This might relate to the name given to a dial-up host. Exactly WHERE did you see instructions to type this command?

Please be more specific about your desire to set up dial-up networking. As it stands, your request for help doesn't tell us much.

Lol, my apologies, I was tired ;) I am trying to access a network of my friends (with his permission). I have managed to connect successfully. But what do I do from there? He told me to use the \\serverroom command in IE to access files etc. Thus, it didn't work. What do I do to access files etc.?

He meant "Windows Explorer", not "Internet Explorer".

You can right-click the Network Neighborhood and map a drive letter to your friend's computer.
