Re: QTR - GUI Problems...

2004-12-20 by Michael Hung

I don't have any problem setting up QTR on my machine, but it's my
machine and I (think at least) know networking and windows sharing
very well..

It's not as simple as it sounds.. With Windows XP, Microsoft changed a
hell lot of default security and sharing parameters in Windows. And
there may be just a check-box difference for systems that works and
doesn't. The basic problem is the default file sharing. Prior to
Windows XP, all you need to share a printer, folder, etc is either
right-click on the folder and hit sharing; or issue the command "net
share sharename=..." in command prompt. In Windows XP, there are a few
more things to click before that will work (and I couldn't even
remember what they are now), and QTR relies on that.
