Guest joesf16 Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Hi. I'm not sure if this is the correct group to ask this question. If not could someone direct me to the best discussion group. Newbie I have XP professional clients with windows 2003 server. Internet comes from modem to router. Clients and Server connect to router. How do I share out a hard drive on server? How do I share out a hard drive on client machine? What is the easiest way without mapping? And then how do I share out a file within the hard drive? Thanks in advance. -- vze2mss6

This is dangerous position you're in, equivalent to you driving a big truck even though you've never driven anything other than an ordinary car. Here are a few of the traps you're likely to step into: - Loss of user data - Unauthorised access of user data - Becoming the victim of hackers And, of course, you'll spend much, much more of your time carrying out basic tasks because you lack the training to do them properly and efficiently. Having no experience is nothing to be ashamed of - we all started without experience. However, before getting involved in server maintenance, you must ask your boss to send you to a couple of server training courses so that you can pick up the basics. If you don't do it then you are likely to pay a high price later on. Your career might be permanently damaged because you'll be blamed for something that you did or failed to do out of sheer ignorance.
Guest sakkanan thirumal Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 sharing harddrive and folders sharing harddrive and folders since you are connected to internet directly its not good to share hard drives in servers.If you want to share folders in client machines then you can go for Dfs in server.
