Windows XP Pro & Networking

by eckostar . Updated 24 years ago

I am running two machines that both have build 5.1.2600 of WinXP Pro. I have the two comps routed throught a LinkSys DSL Router. I have comp 1 setup with a name, and for the workgroup of home. I ran the home network wizard, and everything worked. I also ran the exact same process on comp 2, making sure that the workgroups were the same. One thing i noticed on comp 2 is that when you right click on the drive and go to properties, then sharing, it has the sharing dialog of win 2k…it asks me forthe share name, permisions,etc. Is there any way that i can change this back to xp sharing, and be on the way to trying to allow for each comp to access each others files. If someone would have the time, i will send out a help request.
