Sigh How do I move specific file from one computer
Hi,
Move/copy the files into the shared documents folder or make sure that the folders containing them are properly shared outside of the local system. Then make sure both machines are using the same workgroup name. If either system is pre-SP2, then you will probably also need to disable the Windows Firewall, as it is incompatible with this type of setup. If you are running a third party firewall on either system, you may need to adjust its settings to allow for the file sharing. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "drybones" wrote in message ...

Thanks, drybones On the WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with non-blank password(s), that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to access the designated shares, provided your network is configured properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall is disabled on the internal LAN connection. Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless -- almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful, easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and he Home Networking http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/h...et/default.asp Networking Information http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking.htm PracticallyNetworked Home http://www.practicallynetworked.com/index.htm Steve Winograd's Networking FAQ http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -Benjamin Franklin |

I fiddled unsuccessfully with Norton's firewall for some time before dumping Norton and installing ZoneAlarm, whereupon my problems went away. Your mileage may vary. |
