How to share folder ?

[esohier]

Hello there,

I have a Windows Xp on my computer wich is link to network at other computers (wich are Millenium and 2000 operating system).

I would like to share a folder on my computer. I try to use the "share" option with all permission in the explorer but it doesn't work. I don't see this folders from the other computer but I can see my to the other computers.

All the configuration are Ok (tcp/ip and share). I can see the folders from other computer on my.

Have you suggestion ?

Thanks for yours answers.

Can you see at least the XP machine on *My Network Places* on the other systems?
I mean if you type
\\XP_machine_name
as a *run* command do you actually reach something or the problem is just that specific folder?

Here's a very comprehensive walkthrough on setting up file sharing. It's long but it covers every aspect you do (or might) want to consider. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/index.htm

Check out the "How to Network" readme at the top of the network forum if you need more info. If you don't find an answer there either, please post again =)
