ViolentGreen 0 Posted September 15, 2003 Is there a way to fileshare between XP Home and Pro without using Simple File Sharing? I know home doesn't allow signing on domain so thats out. Share this post Link to post
ReadError 0 Posted September 15, 2003 Not recommended, enable guest account. Better, create a local account on the Pro machine so the home can access. Share this post Link to post

sapiens74 0 Posted September 15, 2003 You can share any file and set permissions to everyone, if you don't mind everyone having access Or you can setup local account on either machine, then when you share the object you set the permissions accordingly Share this post Link to post

I know very little about networking in windows. Are you saying that I have a seperate account on each machine that I log on with using the other? Share this post Link to post
CyberGenX 0 Posted September 17, 2003 Creat an account on both machines, call it Bob (as an example). Make sure the passwords match and you should then be able to share files back and forth, as long as the file you are trying to reach is a "shared" file. Share this post Link to post
