to get this right, you have a windows XP computer with a shared drive D:. This drive is shared to other users on the network.
For them to access this, either one of two things *MUST* remain constant, depending on your network. Your IP address or your hostname. If your IP address today was 192.168.0.2 and then tomorrow its 192.168.4.29, the guys who shared that drive will see a question mark. The easiest way to share a drive and not have to hustle is to use a small tool that runs off a flash disk called FreeNAS <http://www.freenas.org/> Give it a try and see, thats if you have a small network you are sharing with friends or at an SME.
