I have found a way of accessing files & Drives on the Host System, but it's arcane! I would much rather have a method for "Mounting" the drives, so that I could use more of the "Tools" embedded in dsl...for example the tool for creating a dsl bootable USB pen drive.
Anyway for those who just need file access, use the following method:
1) Connect your computer to a network. Local LAN, whole Internet, doesn't matter.
2) In Windows, create a network share directory, or use the built-in one called "SharedDocs". You need to enable read/write authority for your share.
3) In Windows, open up a command prompt (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt). For Win2k/WinXP, type "ipconfig" and write down your IP Address.
4) Go into DSL embedded. Open up smbclient window...
Type in MSHome, or Workgroup, (or whatever your workgroup's name for "Domain:"
Type in your IP Address for the "Machine:".
Type in the EXACT Sharename for "Share:"
Type in a username/password combination.
6) When you get to the smbclient command prompt, type "get filename" to retrieve a file from the Windows share directory, or type "put filename" to send a file over to the Windows share directory.
7) When you are done type exit.
