Hi,

I've just managed, eventually, with the help of my IT professional mate, the
set my file/internet sharing network up at home, with my XP machine as the
host, and my housemate's 98 FE machine receiving the broadband connection
through the XP machine.

I'm having great fun playing and setting up various bits and bobs... but I
have a question.

Using Kazaa (I'm guessing any other program, also), I am unable to sit at
the 98 machine and write to the XP machine.

Is there any easy way for me to enable this, as I want my mate to be able to
use Kazaa, but, as he's got a 1 Gb Hd, and mine is an 80Gb, so I have set up
his shared folder as a folder on my HD. I can read from there (I gave hime
a few tunes to be going on with), but the 98 machine is unable to write to
the XP HD.

Please can anyone advise me what the problem might be... I disabled my
firewall, and this didn't stop the problem...

Thanks loads!

Jon
 
Me again!!!

The 98 machine will access the network, etc... everything is fine. I am
fairly confident that I've set it up properly, from what I've seen.

However...

I can't check this until tomorrow, but, could it be that the new 'music'
folder I'd created is IN My Docs, and I had set My Docs to share - read
only, even though the new music folder was set to read/write capabilities?

Thanks in advance...

Jon
