Re: Client Access Express, Windows 2000, & AS/400 Folders

David,

That's right - CAE does not contain any functionality for sharing disk space
or printers on the AS/400.  If you need to be able to do that, your /400 has
to be running V4R2 or later, you need to start NetServer on your /400 (think
of it as something that emulates Windows NT disk and printer sharing), and
you need to specify which directories and printers on the AS/400 you want to
share.  If
everything is configured correctly, this should enable all the PC's on the
network to "see" the /400 in Network Neighborhood and map drives to it,
whether CAE is installed or not.  For more info on NetServer, go to
www.iseries.ibm.com/netserver/index.html - there's lots of good stuff there.
(Note - with NetServer running, you can install CAE from the /400 without
carrying around any diskettes or CD's.)
