Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Share a file between computers on the homenet

I have one machine on a home network called HOMENET with XP and the second and remaining PC wth Win2k.

I have an error which states that the file may be in use when no applications other than the OS are running.

Faile sharing right now goes only one way: from Machine Two called called Lon2biostar to Lon1machspeed. The naming convention is for the motherboards. the network is a simple switch arrangement whcih has worked fine until I installed what is a scratch drive for XP and making the
setupo from scratch.

I simply forgot what I did the last time through. I have a book for the Win2k machine.

I also followed the share routine to make lon2biostar drive J. under the
option for that.

The inability to transfer a file from lon1machspeed to lon2biostar remains.

I am stumped.

Can someone take me through the troubleshooting steps?

On lon1machspeed in My Network Places I can navigate to Lon2biostar
and open a shared folder. I cannot move anything into that shared folder but can transfer files out if it.

There is something I am missing but I don't know what.

The goal would be to make both the whole master drives accessible in both directions. I get hung up int his each time.
