serendipity1276 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I need to have network drive on my Windows XP computer. In order for a software to work, there needs to exist a network drive, named N, existing on my PC. Since there's not a second PC to link to, what I did was to created a directory named c:\test on the same PC , share it out, and then, map a network drive, named N, to it. When my PC has an Ethernet cable connected to a switch, Windows XP will see that N drive (existing on the same PC). The moment I disconnect that Ethernet cable from the switch, the N drive is gone. How do I set up Windows XP so that a mapped network drive on XP (as mentioned above) can exist, without the need to have a network cable connecting that PC to a switch?
