[AccessD] OT: Hamachi - again...

Jim,

Sorry, I did not see your reply.

Don't worry about being too basic.  I'm a dev, not a network guy.  LOL.

1) Yes it is running.  I can actually connect to my machine via TightVNC
(someone suggested one of the other VNCs, but I have not had time to install
and configure it).

2) I do have a couple of shares that are open to everyone (home network via
NAT) that I should be able to see.  

The error message I get is "The path '\\5.xxx.yyy.zzz' does not exist or is
not a valid directory."

When I connected to my work PC from home via Browse, I had to log in.  When
I try to browse from work to home, I get no login screen.  Both are XP Pro.

I am also able to use the chat feature of Hamachi between the two PCs.

Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby:

These questions may sound overly obvious for that I apologize but:

1. Is 'Hamachi' left running on PC at home... it will show at the bottom
right section of your task bar when it is.

2. Have you setup shares on your home PC? No share(s), no access. By adding
the appropriate security to these shares it will either ask for login
validation or not. Set the level of security and who is allowed access by
right-mouse-clicking the directory/share in question, opening the security
tab and attaching the required user. 

HTH
Jim
