O.P. Error when trying to Share a Folder[Fixed]
Earlier this week I was feeling adventurous and decided to setup a home network so I could share files between my computer easily. 8-| I had done it before at a friends before so I thought it would be just as painless. I was completely WRONG. :@ I set up the network using the wizard and and used a flash drive to put it on the other computers.

When I tried to share a folder in the root of my harddrive (not that it matters) it gave me : [Image: Error.png]

I dont know what to do :(

EDIT:
OS: Windows XP Home Edition ver. 5.1.2600 w/ service pack  2.0
Processor: Intel Celeron M processor 1.50GHz
Memory: 512 MB

RE: Error when trying to Share a Folder
try this:
Start > Run > cmd
type in: net start server

to make sure the server service is always running when you need it, do this: Start > Run > services.msc
find 'server' on the list, and change its properties to Automatic start up

RE: Error when trying to Share a Folder
You don't have the Server service? strange... That service is necessary for file sharing. Have you restarted the computer since you ran the netsetup wizard?

I remember I had many problems trying to do this back in my old Uni residence, I got it working eventually for everyone.

RE: Error when trying to Share a Folder
Perhaps it's because you have XP Home? This OS, I imagine, as I have Pro, would not have so much "advanced" features as MS probably thought Home users would be complete n00bs at computers and would not need it.

My two cents :D

XP Home has networking capabilities. Thats why they have a wizard to make a network and the ability to share folders.
