its a pretty simple process, go to the folder you want to share, right click on it, and go to properties, in properties, there are a bunch of tabs, click on the sharing tab, and check the box that says share this file on the network. then just click ok. If you wwant ot get it from the other computer, the best way is to search for it, else you can find it in the network folder. good luck

What operating system are you using? Which version? If you are doing it through windows, the directions are in the help system. If you are using another operating system, please let me know. YB

he is talking about XP - its quite easy to set up a network using this operating system. Make sure ur firewalls etc arnt denying internet sharing as well.

Any suggestions will be helpful. Well the simplest way would of course to be to share the folder... Right click on the folder and go to properties > click on sharing > 'Share this folder" and then if you have bigtime security setup on your network, put in the computers/ users that may access the folder you have shared... All in all it would take you about a minute to set this up... All the best... Rashid Ahmed

Make sure you have the guest account enabled (in Computer Management > Users and Groups > Users, not the one in User Accounts in the Control Panel), or you'll be prompted with a log in form every time you try to access the folder from another computer.

Sharing Documents (website)
any suggestions ? (4) My father is looking for a some kind of website where he can share documents with friends and
colleagues.The documents should only be accesible by his friends/colleagues, because some contain
sensitive data (eg. about work). The users also have to be able to give comments on the files. The
last requirement seems to be the hardest, because there are a lot of data-sharing sites available,
but no of them seem to have an option to give comments on the files. So, do you guys have any
suggestion ???....
Baylan Network Switch Problem
keeps burning out. (1) I bought a 10/100 8 port switch for my home network, the previous hub burned out after a couple
years. I basically run it 24/7, and with filesharing going on, it's pretty much working nonstop.
The adapter (9V, 500MA) burned out after about 6 hours of usage. I thought it could be just an
accident, so i bought another adapter, but leaving it overnight resulted in the same thing. it's
burned out again. The guy who sold it to me said that i'm not supposed to plug an electrical
device that has an adapter built in, into a stabilizer or UPS. That that would make it ....
Need Correct Program To Open MD5 File In Windows XP
(7) Somehow I changed how an MD5 file gets opened and it now gets opened with windows media player.
I've gone to Control Panel>Folder Options>File Types, but there is no restore to default. The
only restore to default is under Folder Options>General, and I've tried that and it doesn't
change it. I am trying to re-install my Xammp because it isn't working, and Xammp installer
opens with an MD5 file, so I have a problem here. Does anyone know the program that opens an MD5
file for Windows XP?....
Find Out A Files Original File Type
(6) Hi, is there any way to find out a file's original file type/extension? My friend gave me this
song from a Chinese series and I had to play around with the extensions until I got it working (made
it .wmv). He doesn't even know the original format, but I'm guessing he's using wmv to
use it also. I tried naming it to .mp3 and .wma to see if those work...both failed. I like to keep
all my audio files as mp3 files. Was going to look for a program to convert it to mp3, but have a
question. I highly doubt this file was originally a .wmv file since it's jus....

MD5 File? Need Help...
(4) I have posted this somewhere before a while back, but seemed to get nowhere. I looked in the

Well, there is no option for that. I was just wondering if someone could go to folder options and
tell me what it is that opens it. I am trying to download XAMMP, but it is in MD5 form. I am not....
