Problem solved feel free to ignore this post, or to mock me, either way

I give up.

After reformating my primary computer I seem to have forgotten how to enable folder/file sharing over my network.

I can still access any shared files on other machines but I can't seem to figure out how to share my own files.

Many hours of google have shown me nothing. So if any one can tell me how to enable the feature for windows 2K (sp4) I would be grateful.

oh, yah this is also all installed off of an old MSDN Disc, I believe I am running win2K Professional.



wait a sec....

*pokes around in his network set up*

oh, look, install the service for file and printer sharing?

hmmm...


*reboot*


would yah look at that.

yall can ignore me now, problem solved <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    What exactly is the problem? Typically all you have to do is right-click on a folder you want to share, select the "sharing" tab, and.. well, its pretty self explainitory. Do you not have the sharing tab?
