Hi,
Just installed a snap server 410 on my network. Transferred files over to it. I can't get the guest account or a user account I set up to map network drive to it. I can only get access when accessing as an administrator. If I change the user account to administrator level then it accesses ok, but not without admin rights. I must be missing something but I don't know what. Help.

Thanks. I think Ive managed to sort it out, although I'm not quite sure why it worked. I deleted the share and then recreated it with the same all user access as it had before. After that I could access the share folder over my network, but not the files within it. I guessed that the problem was that these were originally saved by a user with admin rights so I logged in as such and deleted them. Then logged in as a guest or non admin user and saved them again. After that I could access from any pc on the network without admin rights - phew. I understand what I just wrote even if no one else does lol.
