I am connected to a router that is connected to an other pc.
With networks you can drag and drop items to each other but i cant do that why not.

It wont work with shared docs.

Can anybody help, thanks.

are both computers in the same workgroup/domain? if so, share a folder (right click, sharing) and then check My Network Places on the other PC and see if the folder appears.

the Shared docs folder is just for different users on the same PC (iirc? don't use it =p, i just share folders accross networks)

weres sharing

Right click the folder, click properties, then click 'Sharing' tab at the top.

I am assuming you're using Windows XP, by the way.

I am and it worked thanks   (i cant give you rep but i would if i could)

Yep

When i share a folder on a network this happens to the icon
thats normal
but were on my other pc can you get this file its not in shared docs

Go to My network places and choose your network and should be there, if not make sure both computers are conntected to the internet

My Network Places.

Or in an explorer window type \\COMPUTERNAME\ in the address bar.  Where COMPUTERNAME is the name of the computer with the shared files.

Edit:  Beaten to the post.

i had the same problem, Click start> search > then computers or people > computers on the network > then type " ip adress other the other PC here" then all the shared folders should appere and all the printers ect...
