Basically, im getting a new computer, and i have read that a good use for the old one is use it as a fileserver. So i wiped it, and just reinstalled xp again. It is connected directly to the router, and the other computer and my new one (when i get it) are connected wirelessly through a netgear router. The problem is, i cant seem to map the drives on either computer. So the only drive on the old one is called E: and the newer one has C and D. I have named them in the same workgroup. Also, when i go to my network connections, no workgroups appear, or when i click map network drive and type "\\192.xxx.x.x\E:" to access the drive on the file server, it returns an error saying it could not be found. File sharing is enabled for this device. Could you give me some detailed help please?
Thanks
Rory
