File Sharing

[rckclmbr2003]

So recently i set up the network and finally got all of the computer(3) online. I want to be able to send files directly between each computer. On my computer i can open up my friends shared drive and go through his folders. but when i am on his computer i can not go through my folders. what am i doing wrong here?

[jcnoernberg]

a few things to check...

-make sure file sharing is enabled on all pcs

-share out drives on each computer

-try pinging each other computer, from each computer... to make sure everythings connected

-disable any firewall temporarily, and see if that allows it to work... if so, its software problems then. i know my norton internet security has a network setup wizard where you can set a range of acceptable IPs.

-check your router, make sure all computers are connected properly

okey......i will tell you how to ping the other computers from yours. Go to start then in Run enter CMD and then the command prompt will open and then check your IP address. right donwn IPCONFIG and hit enter. okey then you can see like 196.144.2.1 this ip address. go to your friends computer and write down his ip address and then ping from your computer to his computer like ping 196.144.2.1 if the signal lost it means you have somthing wrong if that computer receive your signal and it shows 100% then it means your network is good.
