596896 2007-10-01 20:53:00 Got to seeing that my old IOMEGA Zipper was just sitting around doin' nothing, so I decided to hook it up to one of the Dells on the LAN via the Dell USB .

It was in the Dell lineup in a flash, clicked on SHARE and told it to play nice with the main puter on the LAN in the #1 slot . The Dell is in the #3 slot .

I have the little sharing hand under the drive in the Dell area, but I cannot get it to be seen by any of the other puters .

The NEW HARDWARE wizard doesn't see it on the others either . Not in DEVICE MANAGER or HARDWARE either .

Now What?

I'll try a reboot whilst youse guys mull this over .

I'll BRB . . . . . . :stare:

1) Firewall is not blocking certain Windows / system files from allowing the information to be passed on to computer #1
2) The portable drive is working under computer #3

Cheers :)

1) I have other devices sharing from puter #3 and #1 sees them all..except for the IOMEGA
2) I can run IOMEGA very well on #3....I have it in NTFS and with a lot of free space...well, as much free space as a Zip-drive can handle anyway!


Do I have to set some new, special permissions up here?

The reboot didn't make it any better.
