Two Networked Computers Net Works NO File Sharing

[Possum]

Hi

I have networked 2 computers with crossover cable. The computer that gets
the net is able to share this connection.

but I am unable to share files.. I am certain when I set up the connection I
selected Share files and printer..

Any pointers or advice greatly appreciated..

Cheers Peter...

name the same for both?

you still have to share the drives (right click on drive and go to sharing)
