Sharing files on network
In the my documents folder I have stored some documents that I would like to
share with all users on the network. I have 2 PCs connected thru Ethernet and hub. Only the documents that I have placed in folders have the share command listed when I right click on them. Is it necessary to store my documents in subfolders within the My Documents folder in order to share them with others? I am running Windows XP Professional and Office XP Professional on PC1 which has the modem installed. I have Windows XP Home and Office 2000 Standard on PC2. |

I have Windows XP Home and Office 2000 Standard on PC2. 1. run network setup wizzard on each computer 2.verify that their "workgroup" name is identical ex:MSHOME. Computer names must be different. 3.turn on file and printer sharing 4 at each computer run the "create network place" wizzard type the path to target computer ex:\\computername\shared\ 5 if succsessfull, any shared files from target will be visible from "my network places" try dragging files into the shred docs folder |
