eCS + XP Home problem

eCS + XP Home problem
Thu, 13 Mar 2008 09:26:30 -040
I have at last managed to get my eCS and OS/2 computers to see my WinXP 
Home (with SP2) computer and vice versa, but from the eCS and OS/2 
computers I can see only the top-level files and directories on each 
drive of the XP machine: I cannot access any "lower" files or 
subdirectories.

Anybody know what I have to do so everything on the XP machine is 
accessible from eCS / OS/2?

Alan:

Can't answer your question but I'd like to know what you've done.
Ever since installing SP2 on my wife's xp I have not been able to connect.

You could have a look at:

http://www.sjoerd-visser.demon.nl/ecs-os2/extra/lan03ecs_in_smb_networ
ks.pdf


Enable Netbios via TCP/IP
Use NFFS , not FAT32
Unlike W2K and XP Prof,  XP Home can only export shared folders that 
are owned bij Everyone (Simple File Sharing), so folders like Windows 
and private folders cannot be shared.
