Re: Sharing access denied -Too confused or stupid to figure out sh

Hi
It is Not clear to ne your current Network topology and how the local Wireless works.
However in general you can share files through a Network, you can Not run a program that is installed on computer A from computer B unless you use a Remote Control Program.

You can Not run a program that is on another

This does not relate directly to the share problem.
But you would have a better chance for a good connection, and sharing if you
would switch to External Ethernet and uniform Network rather than using USB
Modem and thus probably employing double NAT.

Thank you Jack. I don’t understand what you mean by switching to
“External Ethernet and uniform Network rather than using USB Modem and thus
probably employing double NAT.”

Here’s my situation: We live in an area where neither cable nor DSL are
available for high-speed Internet; my only option is wireless broadband
through Verizon Wireless, that’s why I’m using the USB modem.
