There I learnt how to fix filesharing. The       simple solution that has worked for me since then was the following:       On PC's that must have access to each others shares, the following must       be set:       Each PC must have a common user defined, with the same password on all       PC's that must have access to the shares.       The PC,s do not have to be logged in to with the common user, the common       user just needs to be defined, and with access to the common shares.       The PC's must be on the same net, or connected via gateways (be able to       get response from ping).       With the above things fixed shares has always worked for me.       --       Jesper              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
