O
Try accessing a different shared le or folder. If there are other shared
resources on your network, try accessing those resources instead. If you
can access other shared les but not the one you want, you might not have
permission to access the le. For more information about permissions, see the
next topic.
O
Make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup. You will need to
look at each computer to check its workgroup and, if necessary, change the
workgroup name.
Note If one of your computers is a laptop that is used on a domain at work, you
must leave the domain to join a workgroup at home and share les. To rejoin the
domain at work, you will need administrative privileges on your computer. For
more information, see Windows Help.
If the computer is using a Microsoft Broadband Networking adapter, you
can check which workgroup your computer belongs to on the main screen
of the Broadband Networking Utility. Alternatively, you can check and modify
the workgroup names on each computer by using the following instructions,
specic to the Windows operating system:
Windows XP
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System, and then click the Computer Name tab. If you need to
modify the workgroup name, click Change.
Windows 2000
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click System.
3. Click the Network Identication tab. If you need to modify the workgroup
name, click Change.
Windows Me or Windows 98 SE
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click Network, and then click the Identication tab. If you need to
modify the workgroup name, click Change.
When all computers are members of the same workgroup, try sharing or
accessing shared les again.
O
Turn on le and printer sharing on the computer that contains the le you
want to share. The computer that you are trying to access must have le and
printer sharing enabled for sharing to work correctly. When you run the Setup
Wizard, you have the option of enabling le and printer sharing, but that option
only applies to the computer running Setup. If a different computer contains
the le that you want to share, you also will need to enable sharing on that
second computer.
