View Full Version : Can't Share Folders on One Drive

Hi --

I cannot get Direct Connect to accept certain folders as shared. Most of what I want to share is on a second computer. The folders there are on a drive known to my main computer as "x" and in a folder known as "Community." I know the network is fine because I access it constantly and have no trouble seeing the folders from my main computer.

My internet connection is via DSL. I don't have my second computer set up to access that.

Whenever I attempt to add folders from the X drive to DC sharing, the folders first appear in the sharing window but I notice that it doesn't go through the same "process" that happens when I designate a folder as shared on the main computer. Checking the settings again and sure 'nuf, the folders that I just added to Share don't appear.

Can someone tell me what I must change?

_____________________________________________

Never mind, Folks. I fixed the problem. It needed to have the drive mapped.

Thanks.

I don't think Direct Connect supports networks. Some applications don't support stuff like that. I know that WinMX does although it isn't very reliable. And same with Songspy.
