    Network sharing


    Ok, so I made a bad decision. I renamed my computer from an assigned name after I got a new hard drive. I lost sharing with two other computers in my household. They can share with each other but not me. I followed the directions about right clicking on the folder to share, but when I put in computer name of others, it doesn't recognize them. And sometimes instead of "share with", it comes up with only advanced sharing option and I add user name to share and it has no result. Everything was fine before I changed computer name....all three computers were able to access both public and specific name user files. My husband has a headache having already fixed us up the first time. If I change my computer name back, I assume it won't put sharing back the way it was cuz once I changed new name the old name would no longer be recognized, even though it's still showing up on network list?
    Help please *Sad
    P.S. I'm getting an error code 0x80070035 saying network path not found. I think I had to get on phone with a tech to get me thru the paths when I had this problem a few years ago. I forget how I got that person on the phone

    I could scream! so much time wasted on this stupid error, as if time is not precious enough!
    It probably would work fine if I could see the other computer! But I cannot see the other computer!
