IBMMan,
Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in
Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
How are you connecting the two computers? Direct? Thru a router?
Do you have any software firewalls (ICF or third party) on either computer?
Ever?
You have to have the SFS settings identical on both computers for sharing to
work.
If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel -
Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at
"Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic -
local users authenticate as themselves".
If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest
account is enabled, and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers.
If "Classic", setup and use a common account with identical, non-blank, password
on all computers.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
