Re: Sharing a drive on my computer with others

It sounds like the computers are either not joined to the domain or more likely the DNS settings are misconfigured. Can you post the results of ipconfig /all from one of the pc's and the server? Can you ping the server? Can the computers ping each other? Do you have any 3rd party firewall software on any of the computers?

I have done but how do I access the folder from my laptop and the other
computers. Everytime I try and connect to the folder it says the following

mydomain is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if
you hav access permissions.

This lis of servers for this workgroup is not currently available.

Is there something on the server that I need to do in order for this to
work??

Thanks for the help.

Create a folder on the drive. I prefer to share folders rather than drives
even if there is only the one folder on the drive. Share the folder. Make
sure the "domain users" group has full share and NTFS permissions. Remove
the "everyone" group from the NTFS permissions. Anyone logged on to the
domain will be able to get full access to the files. Anyone not logged on to
the domain (e.g. some unknown wireless connection) won't be able to access
the files.
