Hi all,
As I said - there is no "sharing and security " when I right click on the
My Comp icon and I can't communicate with my other 2
'puters (could until a few weeks ago).
Ideas PLZ ???
Tia, Izi

As you said where? This is a new message. Did you start one and
now another?

I believe he means in his subject line

Sir, which version of windows are you using? Sharing and Security in the
context menu will not appear if you have simple file sharing enabled.
Indeed, in Windows XP Home, it will not appear at all by default.

If XP Pro, in any window, click TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS > go to the VIEW tab
and scroll to the bottom and unclick SIMPLE FILE SHARING

Yes, I meant the subject line.

So - I can see one computer and the two others (I have 3 on the network) see
each other with no problems.
Now what ??
Thanx again,
Isaac

Are they in different workgroups?

Right click each MY COMPUTER and choose PROPERTIES

Go to COMPUTER NAME tab

Each should have the same workgroup name
