you need to get access to other computer first. In W2K you have two
possibilities how to do this
1) Add new user with name and password (you need Administrator rights). Then
enable sharing and set Share permissions to
new added user.
2) Enable Guest account which is disabled by default. Then enable sharing
and set Share permissions to Everyone.
With Guest account enabled you will not need enter name and password. You
will see shared disk or folder.
For TCP/IP you have to be on same network nad subnet.

Subject: [WriteLog] More Networking
To the network experts ---
I hate to join the thread about Networking but here is my observation
yesterday in getting a backup copy of my log running on my second computer.
Can someone explain this observation and how to correct it?????
My new computer is running Win2000 and has only TCP/IP for a network
protocol. My portable runs Win2000 and has both TCP/IP and NetBEUI for
network protocols.
I set up user accounts on both machines per help files (which are not too
useful in telling you how to set up a user account or what permissions are
needed??? I guess if we are going to keep logs in sync that "write"
permissions are needed???)
Now with WriteLog 10.27G running on both computers, I can tell each to
"register to accept connections"
Then if I try to link from the portable to the main computer, I get a
request for a User/Password - except it will not recognize the user account
I set up. Says wrong password. I can connect however, using my
Administrator account?????
But from the main computer to the portable, when I request a connection it
just does it - no request for user/password.
So it looks like I have a half duplex link using the NetBEUI interface on
the portable????? The TCP/IP link from the portable to the main computer
will not set up with any user except Administrator?????
