Sharing Files in Windows 2000

[tommy7777]

I have 3 computers on NetGear File Server. They are sharing a T-1 Internet Line. I would like to have them all share files as well. How do I go about doing this. I have seen documentation about choosing File Sharing by right-clicking on a Drive but I don't see that option anywhere. Right now, the computers cannot see each other.

Are you running 2k server (this is 2k server forum) - or is this a workgroup network with 2k pro (or other machines).

How is TCP/IP configured on machines you have (eg, does each have its own internet 'external' IP address)?

It would be peer to peer i guess...on windows 2000 professional

Right click my network places and select properties --> right click on local area connection and select properties. Verify that "file and printer sharing for windows networks" is installed and checked. If it is nort installed, then click on install and select service and click on add. Select "file and printer sharing for windows networks" and click on Ok. Follow instructions and when finished right click on a drive or folder and select properties. Click on sharing tab and select share this folder.

Thanks, so after I install the Service, will I then be able to see the other computers on the network or does that have to do with setting up User Admin. They are all using the T-1 so I am assuming that the computers are named. They get their IP addresses automatically.
