The mapped drive letter should now appear to the left of the remote drive in
the list of shared resources, as shown below.
Once the remote drive is established, you may view the contents of the
shared drive or directory by double-clicking the appropriate drive letter in
the My Computer icon located on the Windows desktop; the remote
computer’s shared drive will appear to be another drive on the local com-
puter.
In the future, if you want to disconnect a shared drive mapping, highlight the
name of the remote shared resource in the Remote Drive Sharing screen and
click the <Detach From Share> button.

The cordless network utilizes the built-in printer-sharing capabilities of
Windows. Figure 9 shows a cordless network consisting of a laptop and a
desktop computer that has a printer attached. The laptop can print docu-
ments to the desktop’s printer over the cordless network.
