Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
This is totally offtopic but someone may know the solution. Im new to networking and I am attempting to enhance my current home network by creating a file share. I have setup the permission's etc but I do not know how to access the other computers file share. I tried file://192.168.0.1 where 192.168.0.1 is the IP address of the other computer on the network in "my computer" with no luck at all.
You need to share something on the target computer first. Click it's c:\, and go into the sharing section. Add a new share, and so on.
Then on your own computer, the newly shared directory 'should' be visible in the "My Network" -> "Windows Shares" (or whatever the names are.
The main thing is that you need to click a drive or folder on the target computer and manually add a share there, before things start working.
Thanks JAM and kettle_drum. I actually setup an account on the other computer with my computer's name and added it to the localgroup administrators. I am doing this via command prompt as I enjoy learning from that and I so far have:
net user Joe /add <-Add my account
net localgroup Administrators Joe /add <-Add my account to Admin group
