Re: Unable to share a drive

to make clearer;

note the name of the machine that holds the share, either by name or IP Address

To find computer name;
  1. open a command prompt
  2. type echo %computername%
  3. press return
  4. the result will be the computer name

To find IP address;
  1. open a command prompt
  2. type ipconfig
  3. press return
  4. make note of the address under your network adaptor listed as IPv4 address

Try accessing the share from the remote machine;
On the remote machine open a Windows Explorer window (the yellow folder icon)
in the address bar, type \\IPaddressORComputerName\c$ so it would look like:
\\192.168.0.10\c$
or
\\RemoteComputerName\c$
This should prompt you for a username and password. Type a username and password for an account on the remote machine. You may need to precede the username with .\. For example:
.\username
You can replace c$ with d$, e$ of whatever drive letter the sharing machine sees the drive as.
You should then be able to navigate to your folder.
