Ahhh
It sure would. If they are home editions it would be a “workgroup” only and no Domain option. Not a big deal.
Would this work for my setup my? I have 3 computers with xp and 2 with vista?
My guest account was disabled that was the problem for me.
Are you trying it via the home network thing or just mapping a drive?
Yes I did my windows7 and vista machine work fine on the network. But my xp machine doesn’t allow access to other computers on the network. When I try to access the xp machine I get an error like this:
//PCXP is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Logon failure: The user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer.
Sounds like you are not setup as an administrator. Did you setup your pc?
It doesn’t give me access for some reason I need passwords.
Sweet, glad I could help! I hope to post some more pc vids soon.
Hey man. Thanks for the tutorial!!. I was getting tired of walking up and down the house plugging and unplugging to my one printer. Now all the laptops in my house share one printer all thanks to your simple tutorial. 10/5!
