If you have a home network, you can share files
between computers on your network. To view the files that a particular
computer is sharing follow these instructions below.
-
Go to the start menu
-
Choose My Network places, a
dialog box will appear
-
Under the heading of Network Tasks,
choose View workgroup computers computers
-
Now you will be able to see the computers on
your network.
-
Double click on the one
you want to open. I am going to double click on Server. (That is
the name of the computer)
-
Now you will see what that actual
computer is sharing.
Notes:
-
If you are on Windows Vista your network will
be called MSHOME by default. WORKGROUP is for Windows XP.
Here's how to
share between XP and VISTA.
-
If there are no files to view then there is
nothing shared on that computer.
-
If access is denied to that computer, file
sharing is not enabled on that computer.
