I have decided to setup a wireless home lan. I have a
desktop pc running xp pro which is connected to a Linksys
wireless broadband router. I have recently added a
notebook pc to this setup which is also running xp pro.
The notebook connects to the wireless router via a
Linksys wireless adapter. I have ran the network setup
wizard on both and set up a workgroup between these two
pc's.
What I want to be able to do is share files between these
two pc's. I am able to see both computers on the
network, but recently when I open a subdirectory on the
other pc, it asks me for a username and password which it
didn't before. I guess this was the result of trying to
assign permissions to subdirectories using the NTFS
security feature, but not very succesful.
The problem is the following: I can't seem to be able to
add my notebook pc to the user permissions in the
security tab of a defined subdirectory, and vice versa.
It only brings up users of the current pc. Any
suggestions? Thanks.
