Simple File Sharing

AmericanDJ816 · 01-15-2006, 05:34 PM

I was able to share files earlier today now I get the error You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact admin to find out about access permission.

The network path was not found.

I am trying to setup file sharing on both computers I have I was able to go through the home network setup wizzard but that really seems to be going nowhere after the 5th time of doing that I am asking some hlep here..or maybe tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,
Jay

also I am using Sygate Personal Firewall is there a way to config that to allow file sharing over the network because that is what seems to be my problem here

You need to put your subnet, like 192.168.0.x, into the trusted zone of the firewall.
