[Simply Computers] Re: Help setting up home Network

How far have you gotten?

Can you "see" the other computers on your network, but just not open them?

Or can you open the computers and see folders on them, but just not access the folders?

When I was setting up my network, I did all the things that Vincent mentions in his posting, but still was not able to open folders on the other computers.

I finally solved it by making the same Users/Passwords on all computers, which gave me access to the files/folders that that User had access to.
