Networking between 2 2k systems thru a router

This is a discussion about Networking between 2 2k systems thru a router in the Windows Networking category; Two computers through a router running 2k and all I can see is the other computer, no drives! I have the drives set up through my computer as shared but under computers near me only the computer name shows and printers and scheduled tasks in that! What am I missing? No passwords are used, same workgroup.

What am I missing? No passwords are used, same workgroup. The computer is there but the drives aren't.

What kind of share and security you put?
Did you create a new account?

You need to share the drives and create accounts for the users connected to each of the 2K boxes. Also give those accounts the appropriate permissions for those shares. www.computergenx.com/TLD.htm is a program that will make these easier for you.

OP
I assumed that selecting share as was enough.
 
I didn't create a new share.
 
But now I did and everything is 'A OK'!
 
Sorry 'bout that..........
