| 398801 | 2005-10-24 05:27:00 | Hi I've just tried to connect my two computers with an ethernet connection and i keep coming up with an error when i try to access one of the computers from another. this error states " \\Home is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission. The network path was not found" |

| 398802 | 2005-10-24 05:32:00 | Theres' hitloads of responses from google about probs with ICS. Just been doing it myself (where it's not a network) | mark c (247) | ||
| 398803 | 2005-10-24 05:36:00 | I;m not quite sure what u mean by ICS (I'm thinking it means internet connection sharing?), but i only want to transfer files over between the computers, i don't really want to share the internet connection. | chronicliar (9111) | ||
| 398804 | 2005-10-24 05:36:00 | Are both machines running XP Home or is one running XP Pro? | gibler (49) | ||
| 398805 | 2005-10-24 05:36:00 | 1. Make sure the workgroups are the same 2. If any firewalls are on either, either one need to be added to the firewall. 3. If you're not using a ethernet hub, u need a crossover cable. 4. Have u entered the ip addresses in manually, on both under the LAN icons/properties/TCP/IP? 5. And enabled file/printing sharing, and then created a folder on both, and shared it? (DON'T share the whole hard drive). |

| 398807 | 2005-10-24 05:57:00 | ok, in the last few minutes, i've changed some settings on my other computer which have caused it to not load windows and give me an error saying "unmountable boot volume" Any ideas guys? |

| 398808 | 2005-10-24 06:32:00 | Well what settings, did you change?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 398809 | 2005-10-24 08:16:00 | only the tcp/ip settings u advised earlier, and i turned sharing on for some more folders. I also turned zone alarm off on both pc's and turned off the windows firewall as well. | chronicliar (9111) | ||
| 398810 | 2005-10-24 08:29:00 | I am totally clueless about "unmountable boot volome" but this (www.google.co.nz) is what google throws up. | mark c (247) | ||
