File and Printer Sharing XP & 2000
Just got a new Dell Dimension with XP Home. I also have a
PC with Win 2000 and a Mac with OS X that have been sharing via MiraMar PCMacLAN/TCP/IP/AppleTalk (Win File/Print Sharing were off as many say it is unsecure). When I started up the Dell it said something about needing to make a disk for XP file sharing with other OS's. I ignored that hoping I could do it later. My Mac can find the XP shared folder, but my Win 2000 can't, nor can the XP find Win2000 share folder even though I turned on Win2000 File & Print Sharing. All are in WORKGROUP and there is no Domain or server. Where can I find how to accomplish the file sharing disk that XP tried to get me to do at startup? |

File and Printer Sharing XP & 2000
Hi,
You can make the disk by running the networking wizard (control panel/networking folder), but it shouldn't be necessary. The problem likely lies in the lan agent, but I'm not familiar enough with yours to advise on it. You may want to retry this in the networking group: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xp.network_web -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers aka "Nutcase" MS-MVP - Windows Windows isn't rocket science!
