Sucess!!
I actually got my Windows 7, two Vista machines and two XP machines
networked. They have been all been able to use the internet connection through our wireless network, but file sharing was a joke. Today I slugged it out with all of them and now I can even open up the C drive on my Win7 machine from the XP's. I finally figured out that not only did all drives have to be "shared"--but "everyone" has to have permission to read and change files on each and every drive from the security tab also. This is exactly what I needed. I have both a secure hardware firewall as well as a secure software firewall, and have done vulnerability tests on my network and I am good to go. |

Something like that would probably **** me off for a month of Sundays. Best, Andy TGIF |

Best, Andy TGIF You only need to share the directories (folders) you wish to be visible across the network, and you can share different ones for different users. K |

Best, Andy TGIF You only need to share the directories (folders) you wish to be visible across the network, and you can share different ones for different users. K Since I am basically the "Administrator" of our little home network I never know which files or directories I will need from which machine at any given time, I want them all available. Like I said in my first post our network is well protected by a hardware firewall and a software firewall, so what is the point of locking myself out of my own files? The system files and any programs that I allowed to be installed into the Program Files folder are still not accessible. |
