How do I share a drive under LAN Manager

Hello all,
I am creating a network boot floppy to access my local lan. So far I can access any shares by using the net use command with no problem.
However, what I really want to do is share the local hard drive of the machine I am booting with this disk so that it will show up in the Network Neighborhood. This would make copying files to it much easier if I could just use Windows Explorer on another machine. I can ping the machine's netbios name from the other Windows workstations, but I can not figure out how to set up a shared resource (local drive) on the machine I booted with the floppy.

What are you talking about??? What are you doing? Is the network a peer-to-peer or a connection from one pc to another through a x-over cable?
In any case, if you are in a workgroup environment you can (r)click on network neighborhood and select map network drive. This will allow you to browse and find the other pc where you can connect to and re-logon when you connect later.
