sharing drive across network

[Fenshome]

Hi

I have not been able to share the C: Drive across the network on the Win 7 PC, but I use to able to. The C: Drive has the same permission rights as the D: Drive I can share across the network.

Can anyone point me in the right direction.

What group/accounts have you got in the Permission tab? Everyone, and the accountname you log on to the machine with?

On the other machine, type \\ipaddress in Start > search box and see how you do.

Hi aem

C: drive has:
everyone
system
authenticated Users
Admin (local machine)
Users (local machine)

with permissions to all, except special permissions

\\ipaddress is not recognised by Vista or XP

where to next?

Have you put the useraccount that you log onto W7 with, in this W7 Permission tab also?

It works for me with only:

- Everyone
- My log in account - Full Control

You should try giving these first before adding more.

Also see if File and Printer sharing is ON.



Make sure you can ping the W7 from others as well.

Many thanks, not sure why but now working, all I did was defrag the registry and reboot, it came good
