Problems with RDP to mini-PC

[scotty38]

Just map a network drive to the remote machine in the same way you've already done. If you've done it one way it should be the same the other. I have my machines going to a NAS but I also created a share on the mele and mapped a drive to it too from my laptop.

It's not letting me see any drives on the Mele to map to

You can do it via ip address after you've shared a drive. Hang on while I reboot to windows and I'll see if I can take a screenshot

ok I'm back... Have you shared a directory on the mele yet as you should see it in that view you have?

You actually may not need to map a drive as such, my mappings are all to Linux machines so ignore me on that one....

I don't think so. Do I have to explicitly share the mele C drive then? (It's just that I didn't have to do that on the laptop for the Mele to be able to see it)

Ah. Yes. That fixed it. Thanks. 

For some reason I didn't have to do that the other way around. I guess RDP did it for me.

I just looked and I can see all the Mele drive. Let me check on what sharing etc I may have set up on there

Edit - ok great if it's all working...

Yes, it turns out I had to explicitly turn on sharing and give permission to "Everyone" - even though that wasn't necessary when connecting drives in the opposite direction.

great, I was going to say have a look at the network discovery settings or whatever it's called...
