There's so many out there, none help. Great job making it easy.
Anyway, I'm adding XP onto my Vista network, or at least trying. I've been getting slowly yet surely closer... Right now, I can see Vista from XP, and I can see XP on the Network Map on Vista. I just cannot access the folders that I have setup to be shared [ right click, share ] I'm really lost right now because I've read so much on this topic. I don't know if this has anything t do with it, but, I also cannot connect to the internet on XP...It's connected at 100Mbps, but nothing works [ messenger programs, internet browsers, etc... ] Bah, I'm not sure what to do, can anyone help me finalize this file sharing problem...? |
