Make sure your directory is shared separately. I just did it in Win2k and was
able to network a directory.
Go to explorer, right click on directory and set up sharing. Might not work with
Win95 though. IIRC you may have to go to one of the drop down menus in explorer
or whatever Win95 calls it and set up the directory for sharing.
