Re: I need a little help with workgroup

Can you tell us how did you set up this work group? Are you only sharing folders, or how was it set up?

What I normally do when I want to share a folder, is to create the folder on pc A, on the c drive, and right click it and mark it to be shared. On pc B, I open "My Computer" and type in the address bar the path tothis folder on pc A, \\pc A Ip number \foldername
and save it in the favourites.

OKay, you can see the computers connected, but you wil not be able to access them, without those computers allowing you the access. Therefore, on the computers you want to access, permissions must be set up.
