Sharing resources
With a network, you can share your Internet
connection, drives, and printers.
Sharing drives and printers
Important
To share a printer
among the network
computers, each
computer must have
the shared printer’s
drivers installed.
Follow the instructions
included with your
printer to install the
printer drivers on each
computer.
With a network, you can
share
drives (for
example hard drives and DVD drives) and
printers among the computers connected to the
network.
After the drives and printers on each network
computer are shared, you can access them as
though they were attached directly to your
computer. Then you can:
■
View a network drive
■
Open and copy files stored on other
network computers
■
Print documents on network printers
Sharing drives or folders
If you want to share a drive or folder, use the
following instructions.
To share drives or folders:
1
In My Computer or Windows Explorer,
right-click the drive or folder that you want
to share, then click
Sharing and Security
.
The folder properties dialog box opens.
If you share a drive, the entire contents of
that drive will be available to everyone on
your network. If you share a folder, only the
contents of that folder will be available to
everyone on the network.
