Network access from XPe

Hi sbs. In addition to these components, you will also want to include the
"Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File Sharing" components in order to
enable mapping network drives and accessing file shares (as well as creating
them). This should solve the problem. These components are also included
in the following macro components:

- TCP/IP Networking with Client for MS Networks
- TCP/IP Networking with File Sharing and Client for MS Networks

This should help. Let us know if you have any further questions. =)

Hi Matt,

I do have the components you mentioned, but they don't make the windows
explorer Map Network drive work.
I have finally included Net.exe Utility and mapped with net use on command
prompt. This mapping appears on windows explorer neatly once done and all is
well.

thanks,
sbs
