Is there a way to be able to get into all directories on a network with
xppro sp1? I have my login secure on 3 netoworked compuiters and want to
get into MyDocuments in all computers from each one of them.
Thanks,
Mike P
Sure, ensure each of them is in the same workgroup (not really required,
but it's nicer.. you'll see..!) .. and then just right-click on the
folder and choose "Sharing and Security.."
Share it .. and ask XP to do so by ignoring all security, to start with.
*ONLY* do this after your 3 machines are behind a $50 linksys
"firewall", or all your documents will be shared to the entire planet.
(model BEFSR-41 will work fine)
There are serious security ramifications regarding "sharing of files".
That's how you can start. You can get yourself into trouble if you
don't know what you're doing -- but installing that $50 solution should
cover ya for most problems. (also run anti-virus software,
anti-"spy"ware software and make offline backups regularly..)
Best wishes,
Scott.
