Dear all,

I want to be able to look at the hard drives of my work PC from my laptop at
home. We have a static IP address, that seems to be essential for doing
this. What I don't know is whether I have to FTP, or to PING. Even then I
don't know which software to use, where to use the IP, and where to use the
name of the shared hard drive. If I can see the shared hard drive of a PC
that is on a network does that then give my access to all the other shared
drives on that PC?

Thanks



Andrew

How are you going to prevent the rest of the universe from also 
accessing your hard drives?
