Unable to map network drive
I'm trying to share a drive so that other computers in my network have
access to it. I'm using XP Pro and went to Sharing on the drive, then clicked on New Share, and entered a share name. The problem is that that this computer is on a domain and a different workgroup than the rest of my XP computers. Is it still possible to map a drive to that machine or does it have to be on the same workgroup as all the rest of my computers? Thanks. |

Unable to map network drive
If all computers are in the same subnet, you can share them even they are no
in the same domain or workgroup. in the shared computer run net share command and in the remote computer run net view \\sharedcomputeripaddress. can you see the shared folders? -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Nate" wrote in message ...

Unable to map network drive
Bob,
I've tried that already. When I went to do a "net share share name", an error came up saying it already existed. I also tried: "net view \\192.168.0.105" (the address of the computer that I'm trying to access) on a remote PC, but I get an error: "System error 1311 has occurred. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." Any other ideas? If I try to do "net view \\192.168.0.105" on the host PC itself, I get this error: "System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied" ------------------------- Bob Lin (MS-MVP) wrote: If all computers are in the same subnet, you can share them even they are no in the same domain or workgroup. in the shared computer run net share command and in the remote computer run net view \\sharedcomputeripaddress. can you see the shared folders? -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Nate" wrote in message ...
