peer-to peer question

Create your own directory structure, etc, and copy the directories and files
to the directory that you can now share. Then go into options and point CAD
to the directories you created so that it doesn't use the ones in "Documents
and Settings".

You can save your profiles (.arg) to a mapped drive too and start CAD with
the /p switch. Example:

"C:\Program Files\Land Desktop 3\acad.exe" /p "u:\yourprofile.arg"

Yeah, Rich. When I said I could change all of that, that was how I would
have done it. Thanks for the reply, though. I might end up having to do
that. Even after unchecking "simple file sharing" it still didn't work.
(xp pro). When getting in there, I noticed that file sharing didn't
recognize other computers on the network. How do I get XP file sharing to
see the other computers like EXPLORER does?

I'm confused..... I'm not sure what your problem is....

If "Simple File Sharing" is checked it means that there is basically no
security on your share and anyone can use it. (Highlight "Simple File
Sharing" press F1 key and read the help text.) If "Simple File Sharing" is
un-checked it means you must use the Security Tab on the Share to grant
permissions for other to use the Share.

Turn on "My Network Places" in the Start Button properties and you should
be able to use that to browse your network and see all the computers and map
a share to a drive letter by right-clicking the Share. If you don't see
other computers then go into System in the Control Panel and make sure your
computers are in the same Workgroup. You can use whatever Workgroup name
you want as long as all the computers are in the same Workgroup. (Microsfot
uses WORKGROUP as the default name.)

 

We run a peer-to-peer network of standalone computers. We do some
standardization in the main menu. so we can use the Screen Menu, since it
changes so nicely from one command to the other, and we can add screen menus
to use with AutoLISP routines as well. In switching over to ACAD 2004, I
find that accessing menus of the various users on the various computers has
become very complicated, because Autodesk has granted everybody the ability
to have his own menu. I can change all of that, but would rather be able to
work with it. I would like to set the Support folders under Documents and
settings\username\etc.\support to be shared. But when I try to share it
with Windows XP, it doesn't work. In fact any subfolder of Documents and
Settings won't share, even though it lets you go through all the motions.
Any hints out there from somebody who has had similar experiences?
