This means that if
user Jackie established a shared folder and files, other users can share those files while Jackie is
logged on. If later user Tommy logs on to the same computer, the folder and files Jackie shared
will not be shared with others, unless Tommy also configures that folder to be shared.
Step 3: Connect to the Share from Other Computers
So far we have one computer named LT2 configured to allow others to see and access
the C:\SHARE folder, over the network by other computers, when user Jim is logged
on to the computer.
If we move over to work on another computer, say WILDFLOWER, and want
to access the shared files on the computer named LT2 with the shared folder we
called SHARE, we have two ways to navigate to the share??”through the My Network
Places window, or in Windows Explorer.
From My Network Places:
On your Desktop, double-click the My Network Places icon, or choose Start |
My Network Places.
In the My Network Places window, shown in Figure 3-3, you should see all
the computers and shares available on your network, including the shared
folder on computer LT2.
Double-click the lt-share icon in the window to see all the files that are shared,
as shown in Figure 3-4.
