Shaz4444 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JatinBeniwal Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You must enable simple windows file sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheky Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 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.
