2 X PC's running XP pro SP2
1 X Router
1 X ADSL modem
config:
2 X PC's and ADSL modem are connected to the router
Problem:
Both PC's can access the internet successfully, however, I dont know how to
establish file and printer sharing between the 2 PC's. What do I do???????
On each WinXP PC, create local user account(s), with password(s),
that have the desired access privileges to the desired shares. Log on
to the other PCs using those account(s), and you will be able to
access the designated shares, provided your network is configured
properly. Also, make sure that WinXP's built-in firewall
is disabled on the internal LAN connection.
Usually, WinXP's Networking Wizard makes it simple and painless --
almost entirely automatic, in fact. There's a lot of useful,
easy-to-follow information in WinXP's Help & Support files, and here:
