Vista - Home Network- Syncing files?

11-22-2007

No paassword protection that I can see. I trie mapping a network drive with
the same result - permission denied. The other funny thing is that the
documents on my laptop which I want to access from my pc appear in the "My
Network Places" even when the laptop is turned off. That should not be or,
at least, that did not happen with my old laptop which ran XP :-)

A guy at the PC Advisor work group on Networking lead me to a solutions. It
simply required clicking on the "Share" button on the toolbar and then adding
"Everyone" to the list of users/groups that had "read" privileges on that
file. Voila! No mapping of network drives and such.

That is OK if you just want to share, I wanted to Sync the files on both
mine so they both sang from the same hymn sheet.
