Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - [resolved] Can't Access Network HardDrive

~~George Quick~~ · 11-06-2005, 09:58 PM

I have a newly set-up Home Network with two computers accessing the Interent via a SpeedStream router and a 2-wire DSL modem.

One computer runs Win2000 Pro & the other runs WinXP.

I need to be able to access the files on the Win2000 computer's secondary HD for transfer to the XP machine.

I can "see" the Win2000 computer from "My Network Places>Workgroup", but navigating within the Win2000 computer is limited to only "Printers & Faxes", "Scheduled Tasks" and the printer that is connected to the Win2000 machine.

I've gone into the Win2000 machine and set the "Properties>Shares" to allow the HD to be shared, but am not sure if I did this correctly and/or completely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

George.
