Shared Folders

Woody14 · 01-15-2005, 10:26 AM

I have a network, Windows XP on the front and Windows 2000 on a wireless. I set a folder to share on the XP and I can't see it on the wireless side. I got a foler to share once, a couple months ago but attempts to sahre other folders now doesn't work. Why??

I'm assuming that the folder is not hidden. You can try going to start>run>

"\\pcname\folder you want to access" ex: \\myserver\fldrshr1

if for some reason, it is hidden, you may want to try an entry that looks more like this, \\myserver\c$

Keep in mind "myserver" is the name of the PC your trying to reach.

If you can connect using the c$, navigate to the folder you want to share through explorer, then right click on it, and map it, for quicker access.

If this makes absolutly no sense let me know.
