How to share files via LAN?

[tgckpg]

I just plug the computer each other.(I knew it's silly but a good try, isn't it?)

And got a "Unidentified Network"
And I tried everything that I could do in my experience.
I could only access the Public folder each other.

And I got a permission error on accessing other folders.
I tried to make 'Everyone' can have a 'Full control' to the folder.
But it seems the must be something missing.(I think that's because the 'Everone' means 'Everyone in this computer, not others)
Of course, that doesn't work.

So, please help??

And, no router, nor switch, etc...

Are you using a crossover cable?

 

[tgckpg]

Yes
(Ethernet crossover cable?
Ethernet crossover cable - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Oh, and I'd heard that there had to change some settings.
Like IPs(I'd tried but not work)

Do you have network discovery turned on?

 

[tgckpg]

Yes(I think I'd said I could access the Public folder each other...)

 

[mckillwashere]

Have you shared the files you need to have shared?

 

[tgckpg]

Yes, Everyone(Full control).
I could see the folder.

I must be missing something, what is the issue?

Your connection between the 2 are fine. If you are trying to share files located on your c:\ drive it gets a bit more "interesting" In order to share file between the two you will have to set permissions and security settings in the advanced sharing options to include "everyone". Creating a "share" in this manner will open those file everyone... not overly secure depending on router settings etc. Normally it's fine as that's pretty much how win98 and xp tended to do sharing.

What issue?
The version of Windows?
Version 6.1 Build 7600

What are you not able to do? You have not really said.

I think he's saying he can see the share but cannot get into the shared folder from the other computer.

 

[mckillwashere]

Yes(I think I'd said I could access the Public folder each other...)

He can access the public share. I do not think the OP has shared the files they want to access.

 

[underitall]

Yes, but the public folders always show up. He's saying he shared a different folder like c:\my folder\ and he cannot get into it.

But I'd set the share to everyone, furthermore I'm not sharing the C drive...

 

[underitall]

I know you set the permission to "everyone" but you also have to look at the security tab and add "everyone" to that area too. then it will work as you want it to.

 

[tgckpg]

Which area?How?
I'm sorry I've limited knowledge about this.
