Problem with file sharing
(7 posts)
most of the times i found sharing to be a little hit or miss on the first shot but always found that the solution is very near by.
double check a few things ....
right click on the folder and select properties. then ....
*note, these arent in any particular prder, just some things to have a look at. ive been successful in sharing after going back and forth between these settings. hopefully this helps you too.
there was also a tut posted recently that i thought i had been moved to the appropriate tut forum but i cant find it.
Open up a Command prompt and enter NET VIEW... results should look like this showing all computers you have access too...

After you do that, you can do the command again adding one of the \\computer names you see from above... like this :
