The main computer (server) will need to have its folder shared. Go into Windows Explorer and find the c:\wrench folder.

 

Then right click on the wrench folder. Click on 'Share With' or 'Give Access to' and pick 'Specific People'.

 

Now, a network tech might have created a special user for each computer or perhaps an address. For our purposes here we are going to use Everyone. If it doesn't show up, click on the drop down arrow and select 'Everyone', then click Add.

 

Then make sure the permissions are read and write. If it just says read, click on the arrow and change it to Read/Write.

Then Click Share. Once you click Share, a screen will display showing the Computer name and Path that is shared:

Note the name of the computer (RIPCOMPUTER) and write it down. This is the computer that we'll need to access from the other computers.
