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

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)
