NOTE: The Drive Share tool relies on NetBIOS name resolution to work. This tool is not guaranteed to work properly over the Internet because of router configurations. If the tool does not work, try to perform a net use command from inside a Terminal Services session back to your client computer. If this does not work, Drive Share also does not work.
