360439 2005-06-03 02:20:00 It all sounds fine to me.. are you sure that there are no 3rd party firewalls installed on the machine.

eg Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security...

360440 2005-06-03 04:12:00 You mention that you can only see your own shared folders - this is not always the result of an error.

To test if file sharing is actually working:

Start -> Run -> \\theotherpcsnamehere\

So, if the other PC was called john, or it's IP was 192.168.0.2, you could type in:

\\john\ OR \\192.168.0.2\
