Solve : How can I share a drive with one computer on a network??

Answer»

Can anyone TELL me how to set up permissions/ privileges so only one other computer on my network of 20+ computers can see/ access a specific drive, as it used to be a direct network connection but the computers were separated. Both computers are PCs and are running Windows XP (Professional, i believe)
Any ideas?
Thanks

LukeHello!

Right click on the specific drive you WANT to share, choose sharing.
Tick the button "Share this folder". Then set the permissions by clicking "Permissions".

If "Everyone" si selected, delete it and then click "Add".
Type the name of the computer you want to share the drive with and click "Enter".
After you set the permissions for that computer, click "Apply" then "OK".


Good luck and KEEP us posted! In order to see that, you will need to turn off "use simple File sharing" if its not off yet.

You can do that in the explorer -> tools -> folder OPTIONS -> view tap -> it should be in the list probably the complete last.
