File SharingI have set up several folders I want to share on my HP Media Center PC m385c
with SP2. I also have a laptop that is a Dell Inspiron 1200 with SP2. They both run Norton Antivirus, and Windows Firewall. However I can only access 1 of the 4 folders shared by this. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but any help would be appreciated. -Alex Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

is. I have selected these folders to share and they appear in my network connections folder, but I cannot access them from my laptop.

What kind of authentication are you using? Can you ping the localhost of each computer? Can you ping each computer from the other? What does the net view command show? What does the net use command show? What does the net share command show? All you have posted is that you have a problem, but there are no details of your problem or what you have done to troubleshoot the problem. Jim Well I am able to access one of my folders but not the others.
However, the error message is: "(folder name) 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 permissions. The Network Path was not found" As far as how I set up the sharing, I just clicked on sharing and security when i right clicked on the folder, and then I clicked the option "share this folder" And as for the rest of the questions, I really have no idea.

When I setup my network, I found that using the "net" commands (which you access via the cmd command line interpreter) was easier that going through Windows. Jim Could you be more specific, I'm still kinda new to this.

Click Start By and by a DOS-like prompt will appear. Then enter these commands net view net share net use The first will list all of the computers which are visible from the current computer The second will list all of the shared entities on the current computer The third will list all of the mapped entities on the current computer To get more help for each of the commands, enter net share ? net view ? net use ? Run this set of commands on each computer and compare the listings: For example to get a list of all computers, enter net view > netview.txt And, while you are using cmd, obtain the results from ipconfig/all The results from these commands will go a long way toward solving your problems.
