Sometimes. . . I can see the memory card installed on my HP printer and can
access it through my desktop and notebook as a drive (Z:\). Other times it just disappears and even if I type in the address it can not be found. Sure would like to know how to keep this available. I have a desktop (XP) and a notebook (Vista x64) connected to a wireless router; both the desktop and the printer are connected via Ethernet cable.

If you want to make sure that you always see it Map it and give it a Drive Letter. http://www.vista4beginners.com/Map-Network-Drive Jack (MVP-Networking). "Ed H" wrote in message ... Sometimes. . .

Actually. . . though the drive is now mapped and under "Network" I see the
folder, that's excellent, but I'm still curious. The first icon in which I inquired about earlier still is playing Houdini games. It is listed under "Computer/Network Devices" when visible. it gives the ip address of the printer and the drive letter "Z:\" ??? -- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-BIT SP1 Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 4.00 GB RAM 300 GB HDD "Ed H" wrote in message ...
