Wondering how I go about setting up sharing a network resource on NT 4.0 Server. Seems I can only share LOCAL hard disks. Thanks in advance :)

In which system is the physical drive that you want to share? Sharing has to be enable on the computer in which the resource is physically located. If you want to access a drive that is physicaaly in another PC and does have sharing enabled then you need to map a drive letter to it, either through a login script or in Windows Explorer.

simple answer, no, you can't share a network share, the share option is only available for physical drives
