networking problem
recently just networked our 2 laptops together cuz i was sick of transferrin via a jump drive, and we finally got into out own apartment w/ our own internet connection w/ our own router, so i was kinda happy... and i wanted to do it anyway. at first, it only showed the shared documents on each computer (i wanted the whole hard drive to be accessible). so i went to my computer, right clicked on the hard drive, and went into properties and the sharing tab. i checked the box to say allow this on the network, and it seemed like problem solved, went to the other comp and could see the hard drive. i pop into the documents and settings (which was what i wanted the most), and clicked on my name, and it didnt work. sure enough, all 5 users i get an access denied error message... i thought the whole hard drive would be accessible. i guess (havent tried it yet) i could manually allow each folder, but the problem is when i go to the workgroup-computers-"w/e computer- i get a ton of folders that are specifically for each users documents and settings folder, and i was wondering if you knew of a way so that i could just browse every folder of the hard drive, i know it can be done, but just dont know how. i do have a trial of norton internet security (been to lazy to uninstall that piece of garbage yet), but i configured the firewall to accept an ip range, and it seems to work fine given that i can access shared documents and very limited sections of my C drive.
