XP Network Drive Mapping

[MechxWarrior]

Hi all.

I recently got a new laptop which I want to share the D drive with on my main XP box. They both have XP installed and connect to the same router.

They are both in a workgroup called "workgroup" for simplicitys sake.

Now, on my laptop. I can see the computer, but I cant access ANYTHING on it. I can get it to ask for a password when it signs in as guest, but there is no guest account. I enable the guest account, it doesnt display the login box. I did the log in as different user by putting in compname\account but it still got no dice.

I went through the XP add to network crap... I am probably missing alot. XP firewall is NOT enabled, but could zonealarm be blocking it silently? Im getting no alerts or anything...

ANY help is appreciated

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

Link: Installing & Sharing

As for mapping look at WinXP own Help, it explains how to dp it.

P.S. Are you sure that the Netwrok is crap?

Thankyou sir. I did a search on google and actually found that site before (well the one it links to with the simple file sharing) but didnt delve deep enough.

I appreciate it.
