Network Problem (Sharing)
Networking in XP is supposed to be easy right? I guess I am a dumbass then. For some strange reason, my network works perfectly. BUT, I cannot get sharing to work on my computer. The default shared folder is fine, but I cannot share drives and folders by just right clicking on the drive and going to Sharing.

I am trying to network XP and 98SE (x2) over a 100mbit network, running DLink cards.

It would appear to me that you can only right click and share directories that would not allow access to system files such as c:\share for instance. You cant share c: because it contains system files. That is a theory. I know I tried to share c and could but then just shared my c:\ftp directory by right clicking. However this doesnt apply to other drives as an explanation as I tried to share my cdrom and that didnt work. Anyway, let me know if you figure it out...-Aaron
