Hi,
I've run into a problem with file sharing between my laptop and my
desktop.
It used to work perfectly. What I do is connect the two computers through
a
cross over cable. I connect from the desktop to the laptop by typing the
ip
adress in the file manage box. so something like \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d$.
This
used to bring up a login box (laptop is part of the company network).
After
this I had access to all the files on the d-drive.
Now however it doesn't work anymore. I can still do a ping and that works,
I
can even start a remote desktop connection and that works too. But a
simple
filesharing connection is not possible.
I don't know if it matters but I've updated the laptop to SP3 but the
desktop is still SP2.
Any ideas for solving this a very welcome.
Your statement "simple filesharing connection is not possible" doesn't tell
us a great deal. What actually happens when you try?
Try the following:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type this command:
net use Q: \\192.xxx.xxx.xxx\d${Enter}
By the way, your 192... addresses are internal addresses. They are invisible
to the rest of the world. There is no risk whatsoever in publishing them.
You'll probably find that you share those same addresses with thousands of
other people.
