sharing filesin WinXP

[lozina]

What else do I have to do besides setting the Network Access property to Classic, so that I can go in windows explorer on one pc to access file to another, i.e. :

\\other_pc\c$

to access the c drive?

Make sure both computers are networked in the same workgroup. Also make sure you have sharing enabled and that you are sharing the drive or folder you want to share on the network.

actualy, if you access the share by network drive the 2 pcs don't have to be in the same workgroup.
you should make sure you have an acount in the pc you're accessing - that is if guest is disabled and all the other acounts have passwords. by default, when you create a share, the group Everyone has only read permission, so if you want to write in the shared directory, give the acount you're using change/full control. Also, if the file system is NTFS, check the security permissions.
