Can't access some files on network
After finally setting up my wireless network,( Base- XP-pro , Wireless - XP-Home) I have C drive shared on both comps. When I try to view Program files folder on either comp an error screen pops up saying " You might not have permission to use this network resourse, contact administrator etc."
I am set up with admin account. What, if anything is wrong? |
You have to share the Program Files folder directly. XP doesn't let you view certain directories (Program Files/Windows/Documents) when shared via the root of the system drive. At least not by default.

http://compnetworking.about.com/cs/w...t/winxpsfs.htm Here's How: 1. Open My Computer from the Start Menu or Windows XP Desktop. A new My Computer window will appear. 2. Open the Tools menu and choose the "Folder Options..." option from this menu. A new Folder Options window will appear. 3. Click on the View tab and locate the "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended)" checkbox in the list of Advanced Settings. 4. To enable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is checked. To disable Simple File Sharing, ensure this checkbox is not checked. Click inside the checkbox to alternately enable and disable the option. 5. Click OK to close the Folder Options window. The settings for Simple File Sharing are now updated; no computer reboot is required. |
