I activated File sharing on the source Vista PC and activated sharing on a specific folder, but when I try to open folder from another computer I get "acess denied". For the life of me I can't figure out to give users on networked computers access privledges in the security tab for the source PC. Other locations (computers) don't show up when I enter Add new users. What am I missing ? |

Hi Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

Thank you guys, I found permissives too confusing. I went with using the "public" folder and everything works fine.
