Hi, I am trying to set up 2 computers on the same home network and I need to share my C: drive
I followed multiple tutorials I found on the internet, but I just cannot do it.
Here is some background of what I have :
2 PC both with win7
Both computers are on the same workgroup called WORKGROUP
Both PC have a dedicate IP 192.168.1.160 & 192.168.1.170
They are connected directly to a switch with an RJ45 cable each
I shared the drive C drive on one PC, by right clicking and select share Share with --> Advanced sharing
than click advanced sharing again, select "Share this folder", give a name and click OK
Than I go to the other computer and map the drive I just shared,
however when I try to select the drive, I get the message:
Windows cannot access\\ name od computer and drive
You do not have permission to access \...\ Contact your network administrator
I am lost, any idea?
