CptMurphy Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Are you sharing the folders? Also, you could go into command prompt and enter: \\PC_NAME_HERE\c$You could change the C to whatever drive you want to access. Just enter the admin user and pass when prompted.

nitroshift Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Also make sure that both your pc's are in the same workgroup, same IP class and subnet mask. After that, do what CptMurphy said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tain Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Have you used nLite on that system? You might have removed that functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 ^ on a similar note, have you disabled any System Services such as Workstation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringfinger Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Indeed... we realize you're a MSFN newb, but have some respect. If you're connecting with a switch this should be a none issue as long as you have admin rights on both machines and know what you're doing. Join the same workgroup/domain, share the folders, set a share name... connect to it. That simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should reconsider the method you're approaching the issue if you want some of the more senior and skilled members in the community to help you.
