Joaquin Blanco Posted September 21, 2005 at 03:33 PM Posted September 21, 2005 at 03:33 PM 2 PCs each connected to router and on a home network. I have mounted on each PC the other's drives [Mod - Happy Thoughts]igning relevant letters. FS9 is installed on PC1 and on PC2 I run various programs like AVC, FSInn, ServInfo, etc, using WideFS . However when it comes to installing Active Sky on PC2 and navigating to select FS9 directory on PC1 it just doesn't let me do so. If I go to Windows Explorer on PC2 and open Microsoft Games directory it doesn't display any content. I can however see the contents of other folders under Program Files. None of the machines are using simple file sharing and I have enabled Docomeents & Settings & Program Files folders to be shared and have access to all folders except for the Microsoft Games one. Any advice/help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards Joaquin Blanco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Blackburn Posted September 21, 2005 at 05:28 PM Posted September 21, 2005 at 05:28 PM Joaquin, It sounds not unsimilar to the way I have things here. If you are still stuck later when I get a chance I will run through settings. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joaquin Blanco Posted September 23, 2005 at 07:55 AM Author Posted September 23, 2005 at 07:55 AM Norman I finally sorted out the problem. The trick is not to try to navigate to the folder using the mapped drive, instead navigate to the Network\Workgroup and select from there where the FS9 directory is shown as a share.

Norman Blackburn Posted September 23, 2005 at 08:38 AM Posted September 23, 2005 at 08:38 AM Joaquin, Sorry - this one slipped my mind, and yes, the UNC path (the \\) is what is required. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
