   Shared Folder Problems
  So I setup a shared folder, so I can easily drag and drop files from my PC to my mom's PC downstairs. Worked great for the first file, she opened it. Then I came back upstairs to send the rest (went downstairs to make sure it worked), and now it gives me this stupid thing:
  make sure they are both on the same domain/work groupmake sure you are using the right paths\\BASEMENT_PC\My Documents\that_file.doc;  I double checked the addresses, the workgroups, etc. Even on the PC that has the shared folder, it says it cant even access the workgroup =/...   ;  *sigh* Then just setup an FTP server. Microsoft networking is a pain in the ass, and realy realy slow anyways. That is unless you use active directory, but i doubt that you have a spare license of server 2k3 just lying around.   ;  So, did you check if the permissions were set up properly ?  You didn't mention it.   ;  I figured out what it was. Windows decided to be stupid, and turn "off" remote access/file sharing, for no apparent reason. Dont know why, but now its working. Haha. Thanks for the help guys!   ;Quote:Original post by MrWeetI figured out what it was. Windows decided to be stupid, and turn "off" remote access/file sharing, for no apparent reason.

Dont know what it is, so I decided to setup an apache server with a password protected upload PHP script, and just do that. Even though theres no drag and drop, its still better then nothing.
