[slim] File Sharing probs

2006-01-04 Thread ntom

Finally up  running with SB3 + Belkin wifi routersound great.

Few teething probs though...

File sharing:  have old recently upgraded PIII in attic with XP 
cannot find the 'use simple file sraing option'  -it is not in the
folder options view menu?  Why would thid be the case?

On my main m/c also XP, where I have music files in My Music there is
no sharing tab when I look at the folder properties despite simple file
sharing being enabled.  I can however turn sharing on if I navigate to
the same folder via the root drive letter...!  Why?

Any help appreciated!

Thx, Neale

This is more of a computer question, but:

- go to Start - Settings - Control Panel - Network 
Connections

- click on either your Local Area Connection 
(for a wired NIC) or your Wireless Network 
Connection (for a wireless NIC - the name may be 
different as I'm not on a wireless PC right now)

- click on Properties

- in the This client uses the following items: 
list, locate File and Printer Sharing for 
Microsoft Networks

- if it's not there, add it by pressing Install 
- Service.  You may need your Windows XP CD to 
install it.

- once you have it in the list, click the check 
box and press OK at the bottom

Now you should see all your file sharing options.
