| 54090 | 2002-06-12 23:26:00 | I am new to networks and my question is about the icon in the control panel. Whenever i open this icon and then click ok it tries to start copying files from a:drive, then it realises nothing is there asks for 98se cd which i insert. It then says it cant find the files required, it does this for 9 files which i have looked for and found in the place that they are supposed to be. I can connect to other computers with crossover cable with no problem using TCP/ip protocol, so why does it do this? thanks in advance |
