9.1 Setting Up a Windows Machine to Share Files
If you would like to share files over your network but don't want to install a
Windows NT server, you can enable the file sharing feature of Windows. To set up
file sharing:
Each computer that you wish to share files among must be within the
same workgroup. Use the Identification tab of the Network Dialog box to
define a workgroup name.
1. Select Start, Settings, Control Panel.
2. Click Network.
3. Click File and Printer Sharing.
4. To enable file sharing, select I want to be able to give others access to my
files.
5. If you haven't already done so, ensure that this computer has a fixed IP
address on your local network. Refer to Chapter 8 for information on
configuring a fixed IP address.
6. After configuring and activating the fixed IP address (using My Computer or
Windows Explorer), right-click the file or drive on the computer that you
would like to share.
7. Select Sharing.
8. Enable sharing by selecting Shared As. Enter the name by which you would
like this file or drive to be known on your network.
9. You may now share the file(s) on this computer.
