That may well work but it is unneccessary and loads an unneeded protocol. You can
access shares on workgroups faster and easier by creating a LMHOSTS file which resolves
the computer name to an IP address quickly. Use this HOSTS & LMHOSTS Page http://www.svrops.com/svrops/documents/hostsdoc.htm
for instructions on setting up a LMHOSTS file. Its easy, quick and efficient. Just
add the computers name and IP address that you need to access in the LMHOSTS file
and reboot, you can than use IE to view that computers shared files by entering \\computername
in the address bar. Then you can assisgn it a network drive letter and have it available
when ever you boot the computer.
