XP HE SP3 won't let me set 'sharing' for a folder
Can’t get the machine to let me set ‘sharing’ for a folder. It produces the
error message; “An error occurred while trying to share FOLDERNAME. The server service is not started. The shared resource was not created at this time.” I can't decipher what that error message is telling me. Anyone have any suggestions about how to proceed ?? DICK ps I am trying to set up file & printer sharing with my Mac, running 10.5.6, over my wireless network created by a 2Wire DSL modem.

XP HE SP3 won't let me set 'sharing' for a folder
STEVE
That worked perfectly. I can now reach into the laptop from the Mac. I'd like to put that commend in my XP startup sequence. I'm not entirely comfortable in the command line but I have a neighbor who will help ... but where would be the best place to put this command??

XP HE SP3 won't let me set 'sharing' for a folder
Steve,
I have the same problem as above and tried your fix. I got the following response: The server service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 2 has occurred. The system cannot find the file specified. I am attempting to set up a network the same as the originator of this post, i.e., with 2wiregateway. I will be trying to share files and external hard drive from my ethernet connected PC to my new Macbook. Any advice on this would be helpful as well.
