-Shared Docs (only thing in there are empty Music & Pictures files)

On my desktop:

-My Network Places
-Entire Network
---MS Windows Network (under this is "MSHome" and a picture of 3 computer screens linked together but MSHome is empty)
-SharedDocs on Desktop (Owner-1b1398977) --this folder contains all of the docs I saved from the laptop HD

When I double-click MS Windows Network on my laptop the "map network drive" option is grayed out.

Can you give me a step-by-step process? Does the mapping process occur on the laptop?Email me if you wish at philemer1 at yahoo dot com

Thanks much. Oh, I found these instructions on MS: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308582
Ok, that's different--you can't try to map the drive. I've never seen one that doesn't even let you think about mapping a drive. Based on your original description I figured a mapping was lost and it had simply done it's job before and you forgot about it.

I'm afraid I'm stumped.
