Thanks Tom.
This seems to be the relevant bit:
This workaround does not work for UNC or file:// addresses that use an IP
address. For example, Internet Explorer identifies \\157.54.100.101\share, or
file://157.54.100.101/share, as being in the Internet zone, even if you add
the appropriate IP address range to the Local Intranet Sites list. In this
case, you must use a file:// URL that has the NetBIOS name (for example,
\\server\share) for the site to be identified in the Local intranet zone.
So it looks like I need to figure out how to set up the shared drive using a
netbios name, rather than an IP address.
What I don't understand is why it works perfectly on my Laptop which has
been running XP for years.
Thanks,
Phil
