Thanks for the help, guys, but I got it to work. I went back through
everything I had tried. This time, I typed in the network drive in instead of
browsing for it. I tried that earlier with a network printer I was trying to
install and it didn't work. But with the drive, my Norton Internet security
popped up a note that my computer was trying to connect to the network and
asking if it was OK. I said OK and it worked.
It good to know there are good people wanting to help.
THANKS!
