What a fucking ball ache. I can't get it to work, please help me. A bit of background info.
Both PCs have the workgroup set to be called WORKGROUP
Network Discovery, File Sharing and Public Folder Sharing are turned on, on both PCs
Password protected sharing is off (for now, just while I get this to work)
Each PC can ping each other
However, when I right click a folder on the first PC and select share, I get to the bit where it lets you add a user account and for some reason I can't seem to add a user from the second PC. Why is this? What do I need to do? Am I supposed to enter it in a special way? //PC2/Username for example? Or should it be listed there already, because at present it fucking isn't. Please advise.
Fuck sake.

You simply share a file on the first PC.
Then you open an explorer window on the second and type \\[first PC's name]
You'll then see a list of shared folders. Click and go.
If you want to map a drive permanently you simply go to TOOLS and MAP NETWORK DRIVE and type in \\[first computers name]\share name and choose reconnect at login.
It really is pretty straight forward. You don't need to add users from the other machine.

Yeah I know how to access the shared folders. But it says access denied and that I need permission to access the share.

You need Windows 7 to do it.

Did you disable the sharing wizard? So that it is like XP/2k folder sharing? If so, re-enable it. I have found this is the easiest way to do it.

When I intially set the folder up to be shared, it takes you through a wizard and says you need to specify what users can have access to it. ie, this bit:
However, the default public folder they setup for you is working fine. I can access that from the second PC. I just can't seem to access shared folders that I specify.

No. Where do I do this?

Open an explorer window, hit the alt key, click on tools, folder options. All the way at the bottom like in XP.

Wait, I've just re-read your post which seems to indicate that it's best to have the wizard turned on. Is that right? Because I already do have it turned on and I still can't seem to add users from the second PC. Or do you mean I need to turn the wizard off and then try?

Leave it enabled imho.
As for why you are having an issue, neither computer is authing to a domain correct? So then, you can't add users that, while they are part of the same workgroup, aren't on the same machine that I am aware of. Unless things have changed somehow. I never could get that shit to work properly on XP. And I skipped Vista to Win7.

Yeah, no domains here. Just 2 PCs connected to a router with the same Workgroup name. I could get this shit working between 2 XP machines just fine. It's like they've taken a step back with this bollocks.

Just add "everyone" to the permissions. It seems to always work.
