Re: XP HE SP3 won't let me set 'sharing' for a folder

That worked perfectly. I can now reach into the laptop from the Mac.

I'd like to put that commend in my XP startup sequence. I'm not entirely
comfortable in the command line but I have a neighbor who will help ... but
where would be the best place to put this command??

Can’t get the machine to let me set ‘sharing’ for a folder. It produces the
error message; “An error occurred while trying to share FOLDERNAME. The
server service is not started. The shared resource was not created at this
time.”

I can't decipher what that error message is telling me.

Anyone have any suggestions about how to proceed ??

ps I am trying to set up file & printer sharing with my Mac, running
10.5.6, over my wireless network created by a 2Wire DSL modem.

To start the Server service:

1. Open a command prompt window: Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Command Prompt.

2. Type this line at the prompt, then press Enter:

net start server

Make sure that "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is
enabled in the properties for the LAN connection.
