File / sharing
k, i have 3 comps all running off one router, i can ping each comp, and also, i can see each comp on my network directory. yet heres my problem, i can look at any of the 2 comps opposing to me, and log onto c: drive, but that is all i can see.. i can open anything with in just the first window of the c drive, but any sub folders to that i cant open, like program files. when trying to open prg files, it says check for administration , or password to see if u have access to this folder.. ive tried up and down looking how to give persmission, and i have it set to the folders.. when one of the other 2 comps had a windows 98 i didnt have this problem at all, but when the other 2 comps upgraded to xp i cant do anything.... i see the comps, i see the folder c: drive, but i cant access any other folder within c: no sub folders, like program files, ect
my comp is also win xp pro..
