Preparing to Use File and Printer Sharing

These instructions explain how to turn on file and printer sharing in Windows 95 and Windows 98 so that your networked PCs can access each other.

When sharing drives or folders, it is strongly recommended to share them using a password. If you are using Windows 95B or Windows 98, you can proceed to “Enabling File Sharing” and “How to Share Printers”, on page 47.

Start Windows 95. When asked to log in, be sure to give your correct user name and password. To set up file sharing for the first time on a PC, click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, then click on Network. Under the Configuration tab, click on the File and Printer Sharing button to make File and Printer Sharing window will appear.

Note: Not all printers may be shared on the network, or you may require special instructions to set them up as shared printers. If you run into a problem, see your printer’s documentation or contact its manufacturer.
