How can I share my drives in windows XP. I know they already are, but they are not accessible from a network, how can I set a password how do I completely share them?

go to admin tools in controll panel, then go to cpu management and shared folders, add c, d, e drives there

I have found out about the management, but when you share a drive, other computers can't acces the folders on the drive. If you want to fix that problem, you must share all the folders on the drive, and unshare them again.... it sux :)

I am currently running WinXP build 2462 on 2 computers and have yet to get networking up and running properly. Both computers can be seen through networking, but I run into the same problem that was present in Win2k with the required account/password to access the other computer. In Win2k this problem was easily solved by simply adding an extra account to both computers to be logged into. Shared drives/folders and tried this with XP and I keep getting 'Invalid account name/password' errors when trying to logon to the other computer using the extra accounts. PLEASE someone help. Crap like this drives me crazy. :) Thanks a million in advance for whoever can solve this for me.

When access PC2 from PC1 try using .... {computername2}\username2 or {Domain2}\username2 for the username ******************************************** When accessing PC1 from PC2 try using .... {computername1}\username1 or {Domain1}\username1 for the username Note: There are no, double whacks [ \\ ] in front of the computername or domainnames.

Still doesn't work.... Logon unsuccessful: Windows was unable to log you on. Be sure that your username and password are correct. Maybe something to do with the Remote access settings as well? I dunno.. this is agrivating.
