Configuring File and Print Sharing

13.The next step will be to enable the sharing by selecting the “Share As” button. It will auto-

matically insert a default name for the Share Name. You may set a password for the print-

er at this time if you want to restrict who on the network can use this resource. You may

also set the default printer settings by modifying information on the other tabs of this win-

dow.

For Windows 2000

1. After you have installed and configured your PCCard, Windows 2000 will automatically

enable file and print sharing for your computer. The only item that needs to be altered is

your workgroup settings. All the computers on your network must have the same work-

group name but different computer names. To check or change this locate the “My

Computer” icon on your desktop. Right click on it and select Properties from the given

list.

2. In the “System Properties” click on the Network Identification tab. If the “Workgroup”

name is already the same as all the other computers on your network, then you do not

need to change it. Click OK. If it is not the same then click Properties.
