Settings for peer to peer network?
Posted by: Jez Quigley on 07 April 2004
If I had any hair I would have pulled it all out today.
I have set up a peer to peer network from my main PC to the lad's bedroom PC. I can access the internet from both OK, I can download from the internet ok, I can even play Quake either on the internet or across the Lan. I can 'see', send & retrieve the bedroom PC's shared documents from the main PC.
BUT although I can 'see' the main PC from the bedroom one, I get an error saying something about permissions (although I have set the folder to shared on main PC). Also I have set the main PC printer as shared, but the bedroom PC cant see it, presumably due to the same problem above.
I suspected it may be something to do with Zone Alarm, but even with ZA shutdown the problem remains. Hours of fiddling have born no fruit. Can anyone help?
WinXP on both.
Oh for the good old days of just having to fiddle about with reversed burndies and leveling mana....
