Windows 7 absolute network frustration, please read on

Last response: in Networking

Hi there,

I hope I don't confuse you peeps but basically I've been trying to setup sharing between my two computers and on both of them in sharing settings; network discovery is on, file & printer sharing is on, password protected sharing is off, permission of shared locations on both pcs are set to allow Full Control, Change, Read under " Everyone ". Now here's the pickle, from computer B, it can access computer's A shared locations perfectly fine but not vice versa :fou:  :fou:  :fou:  It just gives me " Windows cannot access ...blah blah " Ehh!!??!!

Anyone lol, this is really annoying.

Thanks

Do both PC's have a log on password? If no password is set it won't allow access so make sure one is set for each.



:heink:  :heink:  ooooohhhh kkk, that worked lol....i guess i can see why ms made it this way, but really? not very obvious at all, i wouldn't have thought it was that at all.

thanks dude, one thing tho. is there a way around this? just curious really.

Yeah you can but then anyone can get in on your wifi. But if you want to you can go to:
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings

then turn off "password protected sharing"
