Sharing folder on ME to XP computer
Hello,
I have a small network that currently has 4 computers on it. One is a Windows ME machine and the other three are Windows XP. The ME computer has a folder on the harddrive that is shared and all three of the XP machines can access this folders. There is also a printer connected that all machines can access through a Netgear print server. I just added a new fourth XP machine and I can not for the life of me get it to find the shared folder on the ME. This fourth machine can access the internet through the network as well as the printer and it can ping the ME computer, but I can not get it to find the shared folder or map a network drive to the folder or anything. I have tried most of the suggested solutions that I could find, but none of them seemed to help. The network is pretty basic. I have an ADSL modem connected to a Linksys router and all the machines along with the printer are also connected to the Linksys router. If anyone has any great suggestions for me, I'm open to trying them. But, please give fairly explicit directions as I'm only semi-familiar with all of this stuff (i.e. please specify how to get to locations to make changes, etc.). Thanks in advance for any help. Note, I've gone through the windows networking help step-by-step and read many posts and websites on line. I've tried changing the NetBios over TCP/IP settings, checked that I don't have any extra protocols running on the machines. One other thing, since I have 3 other XP machines working fine with the ME machine, I'm assuming that something needs to be corrected on the new XP machine and not the ME machine. I am also reluctant to do too much with ME machine for fear of messing up the other computers connections. Cheers. |
