teamhypoxia 0 #2 October 28, 2004 right click the folders that you want to share go to properties there should be a "sharing" tab fill out everything under that tab and click apply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #3 October 28, 2004 Do you have the same WORKGROUP name?, have you created an account for each user you want to grant access to?, it the SHARING done properly? For example, no one will have access, but if you go to the "new machine" and login using your name and password, you'll get thru, why? because you ALREADY have a profile/account created. EDIT TO ADD: One question...I'm assuming the "new machine" is not WinXP right?__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

flyingferret 0 #4 October 28, 2004 Default canned response for parents and friends. Maybe it will help QuoteYou can try pinging to verify this: Start -> Run -> type in cmd click ok You will have a command prompt. Type in ping 192.168.1.1 <-where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address of the other pc. My advice is follow this tutorial: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/troubleshoot/ It might next be an issue of what do you want to do over the connect, that is more of an issue of Windows networking. For that, try this tutorial. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/ -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

GravityGirl 0 #5 October 28, 2004 Both machines are WinXP. I have created a Domain and Workgroup on both computers. I have pulled all the "Share" files into the Shared folders. The hardware is connected properly. The second machine just keep telling me that "Permission is Denied!" So I must have to set the permission somewhere!?!?! But I can't find it in ANY of the troubleshooting / help guides. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamhypoxia 0 #6 October 28, 2004 the sharing tab I mentioned previously, has a permissions button in it. this is where you will set permissions I would assume you want to set it for "full control" for the second computer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I can't find it in ANY of the troubleshooting / help guides. Just defining WORKGROUP is fine, now, have you installed the SHARING? if not, you have to do that, open My Computer, then right click on the drive you want to share (let's assume is C) then, click on PROPERTIES, and then WinXP will display a warning about sharing, continue and make sure you have the sharing TURNED ON.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

pilotdave 0 #9 October 28, 2004 Shut off the winXP firewall on the computer you can't get into. I ran into that problem last weekend. The firewall had an exception set up for file/printer sharing, but it still wasn't working. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #14 October 29, 2004 Why network it? Well, you've got to have something to connect to your Win ME box...--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #15 October 29, 2004 Keep your nasty WinME out of the NAT pool I guess you have a point. It just amazes me the people that buy XP Home based on "Oh nothing really, only a net guy at work, would notice the difference" and then are amazed to learn...all the documentation on the intarweb, all the tutorials, all the options....OH, they don't apply to me.

bob.dino 1 #16 October 29, 2004 We bought a laptop for work that had XP Home on it. Ick ick ick! One quick format later, it contained a sane OS. Can an XP Home machine even join a domain? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyingferret 0 #18 October 29, 2004 Actually, it can. With a hack http://vowe.net/archives/001639.html Out of the box, XP Home has almost none of the networking capabilities of Pro.

GravityGirl 0 #23 October 29, 2004 So back to my question. Both computers have Windows XP Pro. Anyone have any experience getting them to talk to each other. And stop Fing with me. I used to be a UNIX Sys. Admin. before I quit my day job and became a "Full Time" Skydiver. I have been out of the game for 10 years now.

bob.dino 1 #24 October 29, 2004 Ooh, so the lady wants a command line, huh? In the following, 'oc' means 'other computer' and refers to the other computer whose files you wish to see. Start | Run | cmd On the command line: net use x: \\oc-name\c$ oc-admin-password /USER:oc-name\oc-admin-user The c$ share is an administrative share that provides access to the C: drive, and it's on all NT/2K/XP machine by default. Your secretary will see your computer's C: drive as her X: drive. To make this more secure, you can share a specific directory by right-clicking on it in Explorer and selecting Sharing. You will need to give it a shared name, which will make it accessible as \\oc-name\shared-name. You will also have to set access rights. If you need more help, feel free to PM me, though I'm only here for another 90 minutes before the weekend starts! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
