In reply to Ben M. Schorr -bschorr's post on March 9, Hi, thanks for your help, The machine in question is a winxp home sp3 which is used on a network with 3 other xp home machines and one win7. I can use the network on this machine by using net commands so the network is usable.

The menu item is there for folders on all machines. As well this machine does not have either a security tab or sharing tab in properties for a drive.

On your XP workgroup , set up an admin account, using the same name for all of your PCs. After that, make sure that you have windows monitoring set up and opened up the firewall. Thai Pepper.

For the PC to connect to this and utilize the more advanced features of Spiceworks, I have to do the following on each PC: run: netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable Then edit the local computer policy so that the "Network access: Sharing and security model for local accounts" is set to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves".

Gregory Feb 11, at UTC. Then run the netsh command. The command doesn't allows work until monitoring is turned on. Good luck. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.
