Cannot Share Root In Vista
Hey All,
I'm having a problem with one of my computers running Vista. I used to be able to share a root directory (such as my USB drive) no problem; did the usual Right-Click thing and select "Share...". Well, I noticed a day or two ago that I am no longer able to do that, for any of my drives. I can share individual folders, but the option to share a drive does not even come up anymore when I right-click! The odd part is that I can still do this on my laptop, which also runs Vista. The network settings are identical, and I even tried to transfer my settings, but still nothing. Here's what I've tried to tinker with, but with no success: Windows Firewall Windows Defender Network and Sharing Centre System Restore Easy Transfer I'm close to just reinstalling Vista, but as this is a real pain in the rear to do (and then having to reinstall all of my programs), I really don't want to. Any suggestions?

Yes it should be the remote computer IP. "System error 53 has occurred" could be name resolution issue or firewall. If you net use ip only, then we know it is firewall if you still receive System error 53 has occurred. This search result may help too,

I put the remote computer IP in and it was able to access it fine. This did
not solve the problem, though I thank you for the effort. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Yes it should be the remote computer IP.
