Where to start...hmmmm. Not many of you know that i now have my own home network. Some of you do and you know who you are.
I happen to buy a Dell Optiplex 150, to serve as my server loaded w/ win2k server. My laptop is loaded w/ winxp pro, and my home grown syst w/ winme.
Yes, I know some of you are groaning 'why did he do that'? I have my reasons. Once i got the server and my laptop on the same page and working and w/ the help of Bearslayer, I only
had one more syst to do. So i bought a KVM switch, and got that working and connected. Then comes my last computer to include. At this point i was not aware that my syst that i built
would connect. I was SO WRONG. I ran winipcfg and everything looked good there. I then went into system infomation and ran network diagnostics and it gave a green light.
Now, since it saw my server, hmmm. So, went to command prompt and pinged the server and '4 sent and 4 recieved and 0 lost' told me that it sees the server. I then bring my laptop
up and pinged the IP of my laptop and it went '4 sent and 4 recieved and 0 lost'. I thought to my self 'this is crazy'. I then start to make a share folder and ME would not let me. WHY!!!
I then broke down and went to help and support in ME and THAT'S IT!!!! I needed to activate the shared folder in network neighborhood. DUH!!! SLAPS FOREHEAD several times. I do
that and low and behold shared folder option appears. Now me being a PC technician should have known that.
NOTE: THIS IS THE SHORTEN VERSION OF THE STORY
