I can see this could take a while...
- Windows XP (Home, Professional, TabletPC, Media Center
or x64)?
- RTM, SP1 or SP2?
- Fully patched *after* SP2?
- Is "Simple File Sharing" disabled?
(if you tell us you have Windows XP Home, the answer to
this is a "no".)
- Can you create a share from the command prompt?
Do the following:
- Start button --> RUN
- Type in: cmd /k net share /?
- Click OK.
- Share a simple folder like...
- In the command prompt, type:
mkdir c:\temp
- Press Enter.
- No matter the response, type:
net share TEMPSHARE=C:\temp
- Press Enter.
- Check in the Computer Management console to verify
the share exists and to change the perms, etc.
- Verify you are a member of the administrators group...
- Start button --> RUN
- Type in: cmd /k net localgroup administrators
- Click OK.
- Are you listed as a MEMBER?
- Are you a member of a domain?
- Start button --> RUN
- Type in: cmd /k echo %USERDOMAIN%
- Click OK.
- Is the name echo'd in the top-left your computer name?
The more information you can give us about your situation, your computer
specifications, your environment (computing environment) and level of
knowledge - the more likely you will be to get what you need.
