anybody know of any guides to sharing drives over a network

have a linksys router/switch have 3 pc's on it and a printer, sharing the printer was easy as the software from hp and the user manual were spot on

now need how to share a hard drive so the other 2 machines can explore it

laymens guide would be nice

cheers

Think you can just right click on the drive, properties, sharing....

What OS are you using, normally in windows you can just right click on the drive and select sharing. then on the other pcs you can either type in the remote machines ip addy or computer name into the address bar with \\ preceeding it.

theres lots of more detailed guides online, try googling
