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,

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.
