...also, is there a way to search for all computers connected to my network without going through the router tables (WinXP). I'm sure there must be, I just can't figure it out. Sorry, I'm new at networking...

dinowuff-
If it isn't too much trouble... I don't know too much about command line and would like a little explanation on how to use the solution you presented to me:

NET USE [devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

...for example what would "devicename" be and "volume" and are all the characters supposed to be used as shown or are they representative. If it's too much to ask is there a good tuorial that would explain command line to me.
