    sharing on a network

    i have a wireless network at home. there are 2 pcs connected to a router, both with winXp pro SP2.

    i cant seem to be able to share my music library with the the other pc. it shows me the pc in the workgroups but doesnt allow access to it, ive tried the administrators password but it still doesnt connect.

    can someone help me sort this out please or recommend any programs that can be used for direct access of a folder or maybe there is something specific for music

    thanks

    Make sure you enable file sharing on the control panel (i think).

    Don't forget to allow sharing permissions of the file and folders you want to share as well.

    Do this by right hand clicking on the files and then Properties. Finally the options you want are in the sharing tab.
    Woohoo now Assistant Manager!
