The way I use wireless, I leave off any kind of NETBIOS from the wireless NIC.
That way, everything works. I arrived at that when I realized that my Access
Point wasn't going to work with any kind of NETBIOS, so I was wasting my time
trying to get it to bind to my wireless NIC.

When I want to mount a drive using wireless, I use NetDrive. It isn't as good
as NetBIOS, but it works.

Hi Neil,

Follow up questions:

Is there a "NetDrive for Dummies" article out there anywhere?

I occasionally have meetings at which six or eight people bring their Windows laptops and connect to my wireless router.  I have in the past been successful with this as long as I only had the Cisco adapter installed in Adapters and Protocols.  I usually set up a share drive on my machine which the others were able to use. How would NetDrive do in this application?

I like the idea of being able to use my favorite file management program to do FTP transfers with NetDrive.

What plug-ins do I need for the above applications?

Does NetDrive *replace* File and Print Sharing or does it work with it?

Thanks,
