I have created a network with 3 pc's and a hub. All I want to do is file share, but for some reason I am able to view 'my network place icon on pc 1 & 2 but not pc 3.
When I go to 'My network places' on the pc's 1&2 I can see pc 3 but cant access any of its files. I have put shared access on all of them but still can't seem to connect.
If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.
Don't send e-mail or reply to me except you need consulting services.
