Computers running Windows Vista: Sharing folders, a
printer or an ADSL connection
To create a network of computers, share data, a printer or an
connection between computers
running
Windows Vista
, it is not imperative that the computers belong to the same
. However, if
you wish to share between
Windows Vista
and an earlier operating system, make sure to define the same
workgroup on all computers. For information on how to create a workgroup, please refer to the manual of
your Hercules product.
Note:
The access paths described hereafter may vary slightly if you have modified the default display in
Windows Vista (that is to say, the Start menu properties and the Control Panel display).
You have connected your computer to a
private network
(as opposed to a
public network
). Therefore, the
discovery
options (namely, the ability to view outside devices and computers and to be seen by other
networks) are enabled, but
sharing
options are not. You must therefore enable them manually before you
can share your folders, your Internet connection or your printer.
5.3.1.
Enabling sharing
Before setting up sharing for your folders, your printer or your Internet connection, you must enable sharing in
the
Network and Sharing Center
.
