Heres the problem:
I have a computer with to network cards in it(one for the internet and one for another computer i have to share the internet connection)But i also want to share folders and drives on the second computer(the one with only one network card)I ran the "Guide network connections" on the computer with the two network cards and created a disk for use on the other(with the one network card)And that worked fine,now the internet works on both computers,but when i share a folder or drive on the computer with the one network card and restart i cant see it on the other computer(with the two network cards) in network places,can anybody help!?
I need it to receive some files,since my computer went under a heavy virus attack and i had to format the one computer and used the other one as a back up.Please help!!

I just went through that.
Make sure you have the folder/drive open for sharing...right click on the file etc you need/sharing and follow the prompts.
This is an excellent site for this sort of thing. It was shown to me just yesterday.

This 'should' work regardless of whether you've shared files or folder manually.

Go to the PC you want to copy file to and log on as Administrator. Click on the start menu and select run. Type the following:

\\[Computer Name]\C$

Where [Computer Name} equals the network name of the PC you want copy files from.

This should enable you to see the entire hard disk, asuming that the home networking wizard you ran set up the protocols, etc correctly (If you can see the other PC in My Network Places it should have).
