I figured out that to access my new extenal hard drive with two computers, I had to have one computer turned off. I put the new version II of the Chicago's railroads map on this external hard drive, but was unable to access the drive with this computer. Today I only started this computer, leaving the other off. Up popped the external hard drive.
I uploaded this map to the terminal.
My network Is still sick. I was told by support that networking was a problem with ME, but that it is possible if XP allows it to happen.
I now have a network icon on both desktops.
Well, that is a little progress.
