Network issue. Giving permissons?
I am having a huge amount of trouble setting up a simple home network between my laptop and my desktop.
Heres what I have done so far..
Desktop is connected via ethernet cable through a wireless modem.
Laptop is connwected via wifi to the wireless modem.
both of the computers are connected to the same network.
Folders are shared have been shared
Computers are in the same workgroup called "workgroup".
I can see both computers on the network from each computer.
From either computer when i try to click the a shared folder I do not have permission to access \\BlimNet-PC\D or something else in this format.
I was pretty sure I had the firewall set up right and I have even tryed disbling it on both computers. I'm pretty sure it has to do with setting user permissons.
When i right click and go to advanced sharing for the folder and try to give permissions I cant see any users over the network only my user name on that computer. The user names are different for each computer.
How do I give permission to a user account on another computer on the network?
Ie. if my laptop username is "Kyle" and the desktop is "BlimNet" how do i give permission to \\BlimNet-PC\Blimnet from \\Kyle-Laptop\kyle.
both computers are running Windows 7 ultimate, homegroup doesnt work either.
