Umm... i got 3 pcs now. one is a crappy old one that my little sister uses. its runnin Win95 and i want to figure out how to share files/printers between the boxes. The other 2 are Win2k. All are connected by a LinkSys 4port router. The 2 WIn2K boxes can do the sharing and printing fine. File sharing and printing are enabled on all 3 machines.

Loc: UK

Right click on the directory or disk you want to share. Select the share tab and fill out as appropriate.

If you have users set up on all machines you'll need to set the individual permissions.

On the discs you may need to add a "new share" to the system created default of c$, d$ etc.

I can see all the puters from all the other puters. I have admin accounts on the 2 win2k boxes and no account on the Win95box. i dont even see where to make one. so um.... yeah i'l try what rez said. but if i'm on the win95 box and i click in network neighborhood on one of the other boxes then it asks for a PW, one i don't think i should need to enter and don't think i have set.

ok here is the skinny as of 3 min ago.
I got the Win2K boxes to print from the printer in the Win95 box. I still can't get the Win95 box to see the shared folders on the 2 win2k boxes. Dunno why but really wish i could get it to work. If i click on the WIn2K boxes from network neighbor hood from the win95 box i get asked for a password. one that i didn't assign, nor do i want it to ask for the pw. god i hate win9x....
