sharing folder

[Paps2]

Hi all, I would like to know how to share a folder which is on the C drive of a PC which is on a network. I have 2 computers hooked on to the server. On the first machine (C DRIVE) I have created a folder and set its property to sharing. From the second PC I want to access only that folder of the first PC. The Server is on Win2003 and the workstations are on win2K I have Administrative rights too. can some one help Tnx

Your question has nothing to do with VB.NET. Post it in the Operating SYstems/SysAdmin Forum[^]. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

You should post this question to the Operating System forum, but anyway I still answer your question. Paps2 wrote: From the second PC I want to access only that folder of the first PC. In case if you are using client/server with DHCP server, you must know the computer name and share name of your folder. If you the first PC name pc1 and the share folder name is test then on the second PC go to Start menu -> Run and type \\pc1\test and press enter. In case if you are using static IP address of each machine, you must know the computer name or an IP address of the destination machine. If you the first PC name pc1 with IP address 192.168.1.10 and the share folder name is test then on the second PC go to Start menu -> Run and type \\pc1\test or \\192.168.1.10\test and press enter. But make sure that you have the following options: 1. Client: Client for Microsoft Network. 2. Service: File and Print sharing for Microsoft Network service. 3. Protocol: TCP/IP protocol.
