XP Home Networking headache
I'll take it a step further Rob...
I can connect between computer A and B (which both have XP pro) but computer C (which has Xp Home edition) is not recognized by the other two. All computers have microsoft client chech box checked and file sharing has been enabled. Set up the Network wizard three or four times on each as I thought I was doing it wrong. All have the same workgroup name. All have been successfully pinged between each other. There is only one administrator account for each and there are no passwords so that is not an issue either. Computer C (XP home) reconizes the network is there under 'My network places' however I am denied access when I double-click it. Computer A and B (both XP Pro) do not recognize computer C on their network places even after I mapped the network drive but they seem to able to share between the two of them fine. I have gone through the troubleshooter over a half a dozen times and have exhausted all my knowlegde. There must be a simple answer. Any suggestions? VERY much appreciated! -----Original Message----- Ok man, not to make you look like a total moron. Now that you have it configured correctly (which you do)its is a simple matter of designating which files and folders you want to share. 1. Open "My Computer". 2. Right click on the drive(s) that you want to share. 3. Selet "Sharing" off of the menu that pops down. 4. Name the drive and hit ok and it'll have a little hand under the drive icon if you did it right signifying that the folder or drive is a shared one. 5. Do it to the other computer and everything should be hunky-dory. Rob -----Original Message----- Hopefully, I have a standard XP networking issue. I have two XP Home machines, desktop and laptop, connected to a LAN via a router that came with the DSL package. They can ping each other. Their icons show up in Network Neighborhood. Sharing is turned on for both, files from both and a printer from the desktop. Client for MS Networks is checked for both. Both must be logged in with a password. Both have guest accounts turned on. But alas the shared resources are not accessible. The error message says that "... is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource..." How do I grant permissions? I have been told that the problem can be resolved by removing "Simple File Sharing" but I can't find the control panel for this. It's not in the Tools -- Folder Options -- View panel. Is it in the User Accounts control panel? I'm looking for the same tool that was once under "Manage" in Win2k. It gave fine grained control to added "users", "everyone", "guests", etc. Please help. . . |
