Hi,
I'm trying to connect a PC that has Windows Server 2003 on it... I want to set up a file server and take advantage of the Raid 5 and shadowing of hard drives that Win 2003 offers.
I haven't set up any domain (I don't want to have to enter any password) because I'm not interested in securing it. It is just part of a workgroup which is the same as the home network.
It is installed, connected to the Internet (through an Ethernet connection to a Router) but if Windows 2003 sees my home network, it can't see the PCs on it! And of course, it's the same from the other computers (all fitted with XP).
From the server, if I attempt to connect to the home network, I get a message saying that I don't have the permission to access it!!!
I definitely have a connection because I'm able to ping any computer (Server to PCs, any PC to the Server, Server to Router...)
I've bought a book but difficult to find my way round it! It's probably something to do with some rights / permissions !
Who can tell me more ? So frustrating !...
Ofreeb
