Network Problem (Sharing)

Recommended Posts

Networking in XP is supposed to be easy right? I guess I am a dumbass then. For some strange reason, my network works perfectly. BUT, I cannot get sharing to work on my computer. The default shared folder is fine, but I cannot share drives and folders by just right clicking on the drive and going to Sharing. Anyone know what's wrong? This is really peculiar... I am trying to network XP and 98SE (x2) over a 100mbit network, running DLink cards.

Do you have "File and Print Sharing" installed in the network properties? I am not booted into WinXP at the moment, but this is how the other OSs have done it.

It would appear to me that you can only right click and share directories that would not allow access to system files such as c:\share for instance. You cant share c: because it contains system files. That is a theory. I know I tried to share c and could but then just shared my c:\ftp directory by right clicking. However this doesnt apply to other drives as an explanation as I tried to share my cdrom and that didnt work. Anyway, let me know if you figure it out...-Aaron

I share out CDROMs all the time. You can share out pretty much anything on a system, and you can share out any hard drive that the system can see.
