windows server 2003 and windows xp. trying to access drive?

January 28th, 2020

i have set up a drive to be shared in windows server 2003 and have given access to all users and given the drive a letter e.g. G
But when i try and find the server drive on my windows xp machine nothings comes up. i have tried looking in all network places and active directory search but nothing comes up?
do i need to enter details? anywhere am missing something…

Answer #1
It’s probably a workgroup issue, All PCs have to be set to the same one in order to see each other!
Answer #2
That’s probably it. You can also type in the PC’s address directly depending on the local IP of the machine. Example: \\192.168.1.10
