January 3, 200917 yr I have connected my laptop & Desktop Pc thru a crossover cable, and have internet browsing working just fine.But when I try to share certain folders, I can't view them on the other PC? Also I have tried to Ping the PC's but get no response. Failure. How can I share the folders, both using win xp? I also want to be able to browse the DVD rom from my laptop on the desktop since the desktop doesn't have a DVD rom drive?
January 3, 200917 yr Not being able to ping is definitely an issue, did you set static IPs? The sharing is unnecessary \\%computername%\c$ (driveletter+$ or any other system share) - if you are an admin on both boxes you can touch everything by default.
