Winxp sharing with Win98

Post by Leprocy »

Yes I want to know to sharing drives/folders in Winxp Pro.

I have 2 computers
MainOne runs Winxp 2 partitions In Fattie fattie 32
1 os
2nd Programs etc etc Porn free too
Second one Runs Win98se but their is porn on that one shhh it's my dad's porn shhh. Just pics shhh
I can login to the Win98 computer in Winxp

The Internet sharing works fine for both of them.

In Winxp I did make sharing drives and folders work using their simple filesharing method. But it require no password when i login from the Win98se. Unless I'm doing it all wrong.

I browsed the forum an saw you could switch the easy file sharing off to make it like win2k. I've tinkered with Win2k for a day or two with the file sharing thing but i really have no clue about how it works. Except the win2k version and the winxp version are similar yet different.

I've read enabling guess account but i heard that not good.
I'm not paranoid I just would like for things to be secure just cause Maybe I am Paranoided? :D

So Could anyone explain this to me in a way that won't jumble my mind. Pictures would be nice or some webpage.
Man My Mind is jumbled like crossword puzzle with words like superfragilisticespalidosis or snufflealafugus or acmedeckmenekelmenackperstupershics

Okay let me see
I go to mycomputer
Right Click on the drive I wanna share say C:\
I choose sharing an security
Then Some window Pops up in Win2k old style
Share this Folder :Share Name C$
Comment: Deafult Share
Maxium allowed etc etc


Then I'm suppose to click Newshare
I'm suppose to pick a Sharename for this folder
Say I pic C
Then I go to Permissions
I see this In the Group or usernames box
EVERYONE
Then Permisson for Everyone all Checked to accept

But Say I want to make this work for the Win98 Computer??
What do i do then?
Oh then I hit Add
See the Name of the computer ex WILLYWONKA
Then has something aboot enter object names etc which doesn't appear to be similar to Win2k when I look at win2k for a little.

Okay enough babbling So what do i do??

Oh an DAMN YANKEES DAMN GIAMBI that punk damn A's they could of signed him in the begining of the season Damn.
Merry Christmas,Hanakauh etc etc and Happy Newyear

Winxp It's sure whips the Lalma's ass and more. Winamp just whips it.

To file share in WinXP, all you need to do is install File and Printer Sharing as a Network Service

Then right-click on the folders you want to share, and click on Properties.

Then click on the "Sharing" tab and click on "Share this Folder on the Network"
i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet
