xp is pissin me off

I'm starting to wonder if you can even share a whole drive. Maybe you can only share a folder on that drive.

This has been shared for administrative purposes. The permissions cannot be set :(

This somehow seems like the root of the problem to me. Are you logged on to the machine as the administrator? Is there a place to set a p/w as the administrator in network neighborhood?
 
AAAAAAAAAAAA:scared:

I just tried to give my c drive a name on 98 and the screen went black, then Norton came on and reported virus-like activity because something ( me, I guess) was trying to write to the master boot record.
...now I need to break out the upholstry attachment of the carpet shampooer for my chair:nono2:
 
hehehehe.

The drive's name is kept in the MBR. When you changed the MBR, Norton kicked in and did it's job. As for the chair...well, that's your job. :lol:
 
Well, I just don't think Norton should go around scaring people like that. :lurk:

I'm gettin a new chair, this ones ugly anyway:lol:
 
Pad, You may have to set a new user & password on every computer and make them exactly the same. C$ is not sharable on 98. Once you do that, using My Computer, you can set the entire disk(s) or individual folders for sharing.

Q-we've done this 3 or 4 times...it's your nic, it has to be.
 
Gonz, pad doesn't have any 98's ...all of them are 2k.

I'll get a new nic, but I betcha that's not it.
 
ok, I'll assume 2000 doesn't like C$ either. Also, Explorer/Tools/Folder Options-disable simple file sharing.

I do have an identical user(administrator) and password on all four puters.

I don't see anything resembling this anywhere in that path.
