Including windows files. Which is why you should never share all of the main hdd / the hdd with Windows on it. If its connected to the Internet |

| 699209 | 2008-08-23 01:36:00 | I am me on all of them :):) :) All are in same room and used by my partner and myself only. things you need to make sure are correct; 1. All PC's are on the Same workgroup 2. Make sure each PC has a different name, you can not have two or more the same on the same LAN, Example of what will work - minister1 minister2 minister3 etc 3. In the firewall, make sure the full range is set to 10.1.1.1 - 10.1.1.255 4. Only share the folders that need it, the whole drive is dangerous 5. In the Router's IP settings, try changing the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 6. As a test, make sure all PC's are set to obtain address automatically. - open the control panel, double click network Connections / Right click Local Are Connection / Properties / Internet protocol (TCP/IP)/ Double click it or Properties button. 7. IF its still not connecting, open Control Panel/Firewall, make sure the Windows one is turned off. 8. IF still not seeing one another,Get the IP address's from each PC, then open a command prompt, type in ping 10.1.1.4 ( if thats a address from another PC) press enter, see if it reply's or times out. If it times out try ping 10.1.1.1 |

| 699210 | 2008-08-23 05:35:00 | Thanks for all your help. I took Eset off PC 2 and put Avast on instead. Problem had to have been somewhere in the Eset default settings as now PC 2 is sharing and visible on the network. Bit of a shame as Eset is good antivirus. Before taking PC 2 off eset, I tried to ping it at 10.1.1.4 and got a reply |

| 699211 | 2008-08-23 05:58:00 | I think I found where your problem may have been - if you opened the settings in the Firewall - and selected "Change the protection Mode of the computer in the Network' (as highlighted in the Pic below) then select Sharing - it may have worked. If this is not selected you can Ping, but of course not share. That's all offered / asked in the setup when the software is installed. See the Location I'm meaning in This picture here (www.imagef1.net.nz) ALSO I always set the firewall to interactive mode, highlighted/ pictured In this picture (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 699212 | 2008-08-23 06:36:00 | Been trying to reply to this but keep gettin PM"s ... and I'm a slow typer lol Thanks again Wainui but as you say this is offered in the set-up and was already set to share. You have put in a lot of effort trying to help and it is very much appreciated. In the meantime at least, I shall stick with the Avast on PC 2, simply because the full sharing is working. Thank's again:clap |
