I could not do it on my standalone machine. The configuration is

Windows ME
Enabled File & printer sharing under Network settings
The printer is shared with the name 'USB'
NetBieu & TCP/IP protocols are loaded.
Dial up adapter is also loaded.
Standalone computer name is 'Winserver' under ' Maxima ' workgroup.

NET USE command say you cannot do it on a local machine.

Can you please help me out. If I'am unable to do then I loose the order.
