I was messing around tonight before coming here. I've added shares from XP machine no problem but not from server. Adding shares using Info button doesnt find server shares (for me at least). I have MCE PC, XP machine and a Win2003 server. I want to try and share a mount point on the server that feeds 8 HDDs with hi-def content.
I'm off to look at the above link to see if I can break my server biggrin.gif

I'm struggling with Gary's instructions. This is what I have created (.bat)

net use z:\\Server\HD-Movies XXXXXX /user:SERVER\administrator /persistent:NO

XXXXXX is password.

Have I messed something up with spacing or something? This is created on the Media Centre PC right? and no the server? Also my server is a workgroup machine , does this make a difference?
