Can't setup Network drive

[Capped]

Info:
- Private LAN with 3 PCs
- All PCs are in administrator mode without a password.
- All PCs are on the same domain.
- All PCs show up in 'My Network'
- All PCs run Win XP MCE 2005
- All PCs work with Radmin

Roughly the setup of my LAN is the PC I'm typing from right now.
A HTPC and a PC used for backups.
Somehow I have problems setting up a networkdrive to the main PC.
It just refuses to mount or asks for a password. But there is no password.

I have some networking experience but am *far* from an expert so please explain in not to techy way please.

Kind regards,
Tony

You talking about making a network drive or mapping a network drive?

Log to this page it has a lot of links to instructions to Windows Network Settings, and Sharing.

Link to: Windows Network - Installing & Sharing.

So what was it?

Simple file sharing?

Erm, no clue actually.
Everything was setup correctly. (same as my other PC that did work)

I just used the posted link to check all settings.
Actually I deselcted them and after that I reselected them again.
Maybe something in registry was corrupted?

Windows, the big mystery 🙂
