Basic Networking Problem

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi !

I have 2 Win-XP Pro PCs on a workgroup network.

On PC #1, I want to share the whole drive D. So I setup the D: sharing
properties to "Share Name: Drive D", "Share this folder on the network"
and "Allow users to modify files"

Note that drive D: contains the "Documents and Settings" folder.

In that folder, I also set the sharing properties of "Administrator"
and "John" to the same as above (except for the share name, of cource).


Now, on PC #2, I'm logged as "Administrator", same password as PC#1 (is
that relevant ?). In "Network places", if I open :

"Drive D on PC#1 / Documents and Settings / Administrator" --> access
denied

"Drive D on PC#1 / Documents and Settings / John" --> full access

"AdminShare" --> access denied

"JohnShare" --> full access


PC#1 dirve D is an NTFS partition. Both PC's have "simple file sharing"
enabled.

What am I missing ?


Thanks,

The "Find names" button in the permissions dialog has a way to see other computers in the system, and their user list. Add the other
"Administrator" account.

Don't this button exists only when "Simple File Sharing" is disabled ?
