Windows XP
Service Pack 2

Network is connected on wireless.

I have selected SHARE on the C:\ drive for each of three computers.
as an example
C on Laptop (Laptop)
I would like to be able to see C: drives from each computer on each computer
and share files.

I am also lacking understanding in mapping a drive

Please advise the problem procedure for setting this up.

--Thank you in advance for your assistance

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 is allowed
to be shared.

Both guest account are enable and all the folders that i want to share has
the hand under it to indicate that it is being shared... but im still getting

under the workgroup.
