While it is good for her to test those things, we know that it was working properly before she rebuilt one of the machines, so it is unlikely that it is a router problem.

no it only worked one way new to old before i reinstalled.

no it only worked one way new to old before i reinstalled.

Tell me if I have this right: Prior to the rebuild, you logged into OLD and set a directory ("OLDshare") to be shared. You then logged into NEW and mapped \\OLD\OLDshare as a drive (Z:, for instance). Then, while still on NEW, you copied files from the local drives to Z, thus transferring them to OLD.

i had the folders for new show up on the old network under the internet. I shared the files thru my router/modeom. but yes. i transfered files into a shared file on new and then pulled them off the shared file on old.

Ok, then sort of the opposite of what I said. I'm trying to be as specific as possible here.

You're trying to find the shared folders using My Network Places or the Browse feature when mapping a network drive? I've always found these to be annoying, so I generally do it manually as long as I know the machine name or IP address.

Start > Run
\\<IP Address> or \\<Computer Name>
Don't use the < or >, those are just there to indicate replacement. Doing this will connect to and list all the shared folders on that machine.

If you want something more permanent, you can right click on My Computer > Map Network Drive. Enter it as \\<IP or Name>\<Share Name>, select the drive letter you want and Finish.
