OK..... i got the file shared folder to work but now i cant access files from comp A to comp B. How do i access files in the c drive from one pc to the next? its only saying i dont have access......... RAAHHHH!!!

[opium]

reason why yuh not getting access is because it not shared

or u want a step by step information to get this done

[Paradoxxx]

can you do the ipconfig command in dos on both pcs and relay the infomation for me?

Or

in dos use the
hostname command and get the hostname

then on the OTHER computer do

ping <theresultofhostname>

btw did you share the folder?
Gimme the OS on both PCs.. INFO!!!

Why not just use an external HDD ? 25 gigs eh that much, and if ur network cards slow that go take forever...

I think HDD would be the way to go for u boy bless, less thinking for ur brain, you don't have one ah dem nice 60 gig ipods ? You could use that to transfer the info, like a giant flashdrive.

I think i know the problem he is having. Try enabling the gues account. If that doesn't work, disable all shares, reboot and re-enable them.

I think i'll do a 'quick network guide' when i have sometime.
Something like the configure your router guide
