one computer on network cant access other computers shared files

lancebass · 02-08-2007, 05:23 PM

Just hooked a third computer up to my wireless network. It is running xp home. I can access the internet but not the shared files of the other comuters. When I click on my network places, nothing shows up. The other computers are able to access eachothers files with no problems. Can anyone help??

Have you tried Right clicking on the file in question or drive (C:\ i'm guessing) select 'Sharing and Security' ,and check the box in the sharing tab that says, 'Share this folder on the network'? Hope that made sense?

Yes. I already have a network setup with two other computers. The new one when singed into the network can not see the shared files. I can only get internet.
