145701 2003-05-19 08:55:00 PJ is on XP (main) Maryann is on W98SE, networked.We both have Kodak Easyware software installed for the same digital camera. How does M accessthe photos on the XP M/c. I have to do summat in "Sharing" right? In words of one sibilul, how do I do it. Thanks Poppa John:D Poppa John (284)
145702 2003-05-19 09:03:00 Right click on the folder containing the photos.

Select "Sharing and Security"

enable "Share this folder" under Networking Sharing and Security.

PS make sure you have deleted all those "dodgy" pictures you were telling us about before Maryann sees them.....

145703 2003-05-19 09:18:00 Goddie. Have done that.Now, how does M acces the XP. PJ Poppa John (284)
145704 2003-05-19 09:24:00 But you said you were networked.
Sorry, I assumed that meant the PC's but..<No, wont go there.>

Can you explain what you mean by "networked"?
If networked for file sharing, then Maryann would click on "My Network Places" in Windows Explorer and navigate the folders on your PC hard drive to the shared photo files, as if they were on her PC.

On the other hand if you are only networked to the point of sharing an internet connection, you have some setting up to do. I am sure thats in the FAQ's though.

145706 2003-05-19 09:39:00 Goddie.Mhas access to the Net & the Printer, so I asumme we are networked the "Right" way? PJ Poppa John (284)
145707 2003-05-19 10:47:00 Yes network hardware must be OK then.

Make sure Maryann has the same log-in on her machine and on a guest account on your XP machine.
I use all XP and don't need this, but believe it is needed with W98 - XP.

Read FAQ #42

I am sure it will be easy, after all Susan B did exactly what you want, and the posting on this forum was only about 100 or so long before it all worked. It must therefore be easy... ]:)

Only 90 odd to go... :^O

145708 2003-05-19 10:59:00 Goddie. Q1. Can you elaborate on M's Login & Guest's Login?
Q2. My m/c was originally W98se. We used the XP Upgrade disc only & after a few problems with the setup ran Ok. Can I use the same Upgrade disc on M's m/c? Or is the XP disc only good on my m/c? PJ

Oh it was!

Poppa it is VERY simple . To save you reading through the whole thread ( . pcworld . co . nz/thread . jsp?forum=1&thread=30043" target="_blank">pressf1 . pcworld . co . nz) all you need to do is reformat both machines and reinstall everything . :-)

Don't you, Godfather? ;-) :-)

Yes, you can, but if Maryann can share your printer and internet I don't think you will need to do that. You might just need to enable sharing on the folders that contain the files Maryann wants to access. Right click on the folder, go to Sharing and Security and put the tick in Enable Sharing under the Sharing tab.
