Once you have the network connection in place there are 2 ways to access the information on the other computer – the first is to select Network from the Start Menu – from this you should see the computer that has sharing enabled as above. The second way is to enter the computer name or IP address in the following way.
\\computer name or \\IP ADDRESS If you have chosen to use the simple file sharing method you will need to copy any files into the shared folder before you can access them. The Administrator share
If you have or setup a login account on the other computer it can be accessed using what is commonly called the administrator share for example.. f we have a computer called computer-adviser and we have setup a login account with administrator rights called mike we can access it from the other computer using the following \\computer-adviser \c$ this will then give a username and password prompt We then need to enter the login information using the following format Computer name\user account
Computer-adviser\mike and then the password
If you have any problems connecting 2 computers then the problem will most likely be with your Windows firewall on the computer you are connecting to blocking the port you are connecting to – a simple way to confirm this is to disable the firewall for a few minutes – if sharing now works then you can either leave the firewall off, which is not recommended or allow file sharing within the firewalls settings.
