(I'm not sure this is the proper newsgroup, so I welcome
redirection.)
First the background:
I have two side by side desktops: One running W-2000-Pro,
SP-4, IE-6, classic mode; the other is running Vista
Ultimate 64-bit, SP-1, IE-7, classic mode.
Several months ago a friend connected these with a cable
(Ethernet?) which, until a day ago, allowed me to access
each computer from the other. On the Windows Explorer
screen of each there was a Z drive shown, and then the C
drive of the other computer. By clicking on the C drive
under the Z drive I could access the files on the other
computer. It worked that way on both machines.
Now the problem:
Yesterday I downloaded some updates to the Windows 2000-Pro
machine. This required a restart of the computer, and I did
that. Since then my Vista machine still shows the Z drive/C
drive, and allows me to access the files on the Windows
2000-Pro machine. BUT, on the Windows 2000-Pro machine the
Z drive/C drive entry has disappeared, and I cannot access
the files on the other machine.
How can I reestablish the two-way communication between the
2 desktops?
Start "My Computer", click "Tools", "Folder Options", "View", make sure
that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, then go to the "C:\Windows"
or "C:\Winnt" folder and uninstall the updates.
