Creating a drive that can be seen on the local network is easy, but
creating one that can be seen over the internet (e.g. from anywhere in
the entire world) is a whole different matter.

Why don't you just use a USB hard drive or a USB flash drive? Since you
are using Windows 98SE, you will need drivers to see the USB device, but
most of these things do have the drivers available. Alternatively, for
the one-time purpose of data recovery only, you can network the laptop
and the desktop together with nothing more than a crossover cable.

I need to set up a logical drive on my computer that my laptop can see

laptop is running Windows 98SE. Can Windows do this, or is there
freeware to do this?

(I can't network the computers directly without more hardware, and I
don't want to install stuff and distrurb the deleted files on the
laptop - I want to install as little software as necessary).

I need to recover files from a laptop that were accidently deleted. I
have an application that sees the files, and can restore them to
another drive. If I could only make it so the laptop sees an "E" drive
that's actually a directory on my computer - through the internet.

Any help greatly appreciated.
