You need to enable sharing on the computers you want to share, strange but true :rolleyes:
You have to decide if you want to share the whole drive or just a specific folder (recommended)
> Open My Computer
> Right click Hard Disk
> Select Properties (or if you see a Sharing option in the list then click that
> (Ignore if you selected Sharing above) Look to see if there is a sharing tab, if there is click it if NOT then go to control panel
> Network Connections
> Right click the connection you will share over (eg Wireless or Wired connection)
> Select Properties
> Click the install button
> Select Service click Add
> In Manufacturer select Microsoft, in Network Service select File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks.
Computer may ask for Operating System Disk (mine didn't), will do a bit of hocus pocus then
> Click Close on window
Now if you have decided to share just a specific folder then browse to the location the folder is in (that is the folder that contains the folder you want to share, not the folder itself) and right click the folder you want to share
> Select Sharing
> Click the Share this Folder Radio Button or Tick Box
> Give the Folder a UNIQUE share name (you can add a comment if you like)
> Now click the "Allow other users to change my files" box if you want to be able to write files to the other computer or even if you want to be able to modify the files already there. If you're running XP/2000 Pro you can set permissions too (if you want to be able to store files here not just read them then you should allow full access (read & write) to the folder (Same as ticking the Allow Users change box above).
> Click OK
You also need to give each computer a UNIQUE name and make sure they are part of the same workgroup
> Right click My Computer
> Select Properties
> Click Computer Name Tab
> Click Change
> Give each computer a UNIQUE name and common workgroup name eg Home
Click OK twice (Can't remember here but I think it asks to restart, restart (while one is restarting, do the other computer if you haven't already)
All you need then is either the lan cables to connect to the router or the wireless equipment to do likewise wirelessly:o
You can even do without the router if you were to use a crossover cable (available from galwaydude18 btw) to connect the two network ports directly or setup an Ad Hoc wireless network but either way it works the same.
Happy Sharing
