I think the best way to start is to read tihs page on Vista file sharing
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/net.../vista_fp.mspx) and this
document on XP file sharing
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en).

They should provide the information on getting file sharing working on your
network. If you have any questions or problems, just let us know and I'm
sure someone will help you.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.
