Re: i need help - my home network

so were assuming you have filesharing/public folder sharing/media sharing switched on via network and sharing center?

and you have configured your firewall to a "networked" computer too?

You still wont be able to access the entire hard drive though you do realise that too , just the public stuff , although i think you can alter this through the permissions settings of the folders themselves
