Mapping resources

Just a helpful note for everyone implemented Moka5 with a Windows XP Pro instance:

Using Moka5 as an isolated application framework is great as it normally does not see the local files on the PC where is is run. This means you can access the Internet sources but also can map 'shares' as devices accessible by the WinXPPro instance.

Obviously, this is a lot easier than getting local input to files via your CD or floppy.

Initially support for workgroups (or MSHOME if you use MS's defaults) has some problem seeing 'Network places', but from your 'My Computer' window, select Tools - 'Map Network Drive'.

On your local PC, you can map to the machine name as well as any 'shares' you have defined on your machine:

ex: //pnakata/webdata (note my real pc is 'pnakata' and my virtual PC under Moka5 machine name is 'pnakata1')

On your networked drives, especially if you are like me, with my local copy of Zone Alarm seeing the Moka5 as something like 192.168.238.111 vs. my normal DHCP range of 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.254 (another trusted network)... you may have to map those other network devices with a mix of the target machine's IP plus the name of the share:

ex: //192.168.1.200/webdata

Hope this helps everyone !
