I desperately need help with Networking these two PC's.
Primary PC has Windows XP Pro SP3
Secondary PC has Windows 7 Ultimate.
This is where I currently stand:
Both PC's are using the Windows Firewall.
On the Secondary PC, I made the "C" drive sharable.
On the Primary PC, I did the following:
- START/NETWORK PLACES and saw an entry for "C drive on Secondary PC"
- Double clicked on the "C drive" entry and I am getting the following error message "\\Secondary access\c is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the Network resource. Contact your administrator..."
Another thing I did:
-on my Primary system, clicked on "My Computer/Shared Documents". In there I have 6 directories.
- on my Secondary system, using NETWORK, I see my Primary and Secondary PC's.
- I clicked on PRIMARY, then clicked on Shared Documents and got the following message: "Windows cannot access \\PRIMARY\ShareDocs--You do not have permission to access.."
I also tried disabling the Firewalls.
I do NOT have Passwords setup on either system.
I must also ask, if you reply, please give detail help. I am a novice when it comes to Networking.
Thank You,
Sam
