sharing offline files... is it possible?
 

have a network drive on my vista x64 business machine that is available
offline.

Am I able to "Share" this drive, and/or its folders somehow? so that other
people on my network can read it?

Re: sharing offline files... is it possible?
 

Is the drive physically connected to the particular computer
you're referring to and have a drive letter assigned? Is it
a SAS, or SATA, or IDE, or a NAS drive? Exactly what do you
mean "have a network drive on my vista x64" business machine?

Or, is it connected somewhere else?

I tried once with disastrous consequences.
I moved csc (where the offline files are kept) in another disk and tried to
have the same csc with others windows installations.
Completely mess....
If there is a way, I would like to know it.

No. You can copy the offline files to a locally attached HD and then share
them out from there, but you can't do a gateway share.
