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.

Make sure you are logged in as administrator to make these changes. By default, W2k ships with the basic security template installed, which means only Admins can make system changes.

Hope this helps,

In addition to being 'administrator', verify Print & File Sharing is active in the properties of your LAN connection and make sure 'Guest' user is enabled (Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Computer Mgt) unless you are creating individual users having different permissions on each machine.
