Hi, I am running a small lan in my home office.

I have 2 computers, comp1 and comp2.

In comp1, I have open my D drive for sharing.

However, when I am at comp2, I type to open my d:\data\ in comp1. I can't. I can use Network Nebourhood to browse my comp1, I see the D drive there, I even see the folder Data. However, when I click on it. I tells me comp1\d\Data does not exists.

Anyone can tell me why?

Thanks

Did you share the drive (or folder) on comp1?

In Windows Explorer, right-click on the drive (or folder) and select "Sharing...", then select "Shared As". You can give it a distinct name if you want. You may want to check that "File and Print Sharing" is installed under your Network icon as well.

My guess is that you shared the D: drive, but not the folder. Either set the rights on D: to cascade down to all the files and folders bellow it, create a share for each specific folder and files you want to share.

Good luck!
