Believe it or not, I don't know what "server" and "share" mean in Add Network Place on Windows XP. Here are the examples:
For the first one I put in the server: 192.168.1.xxx (the IP address of my eMac), and for share: the workgroup name (MSHOME).
In the second one I put it this way: http://192.168.1.xxx/Bob (Bob is the name of my eMac).
Or I just put it this way\192.168.1.xxx\Bob
In all cases I get:
I have Windows Firewall disabled. File and print sharing enabled. In My Documents under "Network sharing and security" I have "Share this folder on the network" and "Allow network users to change my files" checked. And Windows Sharing and Personal File Sharing enabled on the eMac.
Is the server my eMac's IP address? And is "share" my workgroup name?
For months I was able to "see" the eMac from the PC, and visa versa. Did a clean install of Windows XP, and can't seem to get the network back.
Please someone who is not an ignorant user, please set me strait.
Thanks,
P.S. I had backed up my connection before the clean install. I still have the icon for accessing the eMac. But now it says
and\\server\share

\\Mac\bob is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found.
