Hello all,
i use a program called Hamachi between me and a mate. The program basically enables a virtual lan over the internet. We play games such as cnc3 over it its really gd! The only problem is we also want to be able to share files etc, i know how to set up networks but this is just refusing to work on my side.
After loggin onto hamachi etc all thats left to do is set user permissions/file access to the files we want to share.
If you have guest enabled you can view the shared files no probs on both of our computers but we want extra security and need passwords.
Basically i set up on his computer a seperate login for me to use (moka) and set the permissions on the folder to share (took away everyone and just added moka), also added a password. When i connect to his computer the login screen comes up i type in the details and im in, done.
But when he connects to me the login screen does not appear. I have done everything i can think of, its set up the same way, but instead of displaying a login screen so he can type in details of his account on my pc it just shows cannot access, file permission etc (sry cannot remember exactly).
We can both ping each other fine, play games fine, share files under guest account with no password fine.
Its not to do with the hamachi program itself rather windows (obviously), just where !!
Please can some network wizard share his knowledge and tell me whats probably wrong?
Ive tried to explain the situation as best i can, any more info needed tell us!
