Files on a Two Comp Network

Dec 24, 2004 1 Replies

Hello



Old Comp. - WinME New Comp - WinXP



I have connected a new comp. to a previous comp. with the intention of getting files into the new comp. as required.



Under the network, A SHARED DOCUMENTS folder has appeared on both machines plus a MY Docs on the new.



When I try to access the My Docs on the New Machine I am asked for a Password.



During the set up procedure - which I have done three or four times! - I do not get any request or opportunity to create a password.



If I copy a folder structure to the shared folder on the old machine I can open them with whatever prog. I am running on the new machine and vice versa.



Is this normal? Copying the files to the shared folder is not much more effieient than copying them to a CD.



Any advice would be much appreciated
