| 1105994 | 2010-06-02 06:57:00 | So, WHAT have you done so far? Created a folder then shared it?? Enabled file and printing / What version of windows is it? Is it wired or wireless? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1105995 | 2010-06-02 07:00:00 | its wireless. dads C: drive is shared. its windows xp pro on his pc and home edition on the laptop. i mite try a restart but i doubt that'll help. i wanna get this going so i can access my files on his pc from my laptop |

| 1105996 | 2010-06-02 07:02:00 | Dont share the whole hdd. Create a folder then share it. if youre planning on sharing folders with games in them, it may not work | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1105997 | 2010-06-02 07:05:00 | its sharing a folder called "shared_data" which leads to C: drive. it shows up on my network places on dads pc but not on the laptop. and i only need it so i can access my music and video files from my laptop |

| 1105998 | 2010-06-02 07:08:00 | What about firewalls, besides windows firewall? If one is installed configure it. And make sure both have the same workgroup name | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1105999 | 2010-06-02 07:10:00 | the workgroup name is MSHOME on both. both have zone alarm installed. the computers name is: Home-ddb14d90e4 |

| 1106000 | 2010-06-02 07:11:00 | Thats probably whats blocking it. Configure it properly | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1106001 | 2010-06-02 07:12:00 | i seriously have no idea how? any websites to tell me how? |

| 1106002 | 2010-06-02 07:15:00 | Go to the ZA site. I dont use it, so cant tell you. Dont know if it'll have the option unless its registered. Go into its options and see if there's a network option | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
