creating shares

[milestoned]

Is there anything that I have to do in order to create a share on a folder. I created a folder on another machine I gave myself privlages by browsing thru the listing of machines on the network. I seleveted myself on the share and gave myself full control.

Now when I try to go that folder I get.

"The folder is not accessable. you might not have permissions to use this netwrok resource. Contact he network admin of this server to find out if you access permissions.

Access is denied

your user must exist on the remote machine, and the correct permissions must be set on the remote machine for that user, for the specific share

if you wouldn't mind elaborating.

Are you on a domain or peer to peer network?

The process is slightly different. On a peer to peer network, you need to share the folder and in the security have both the 'share this folder..' and allow 'network users...' boxes ticked. Any user in the workgroup should now be able to access it. If that fails then type the share name into the Start\Run box - you should be challenged for a login and password - try the local admin on the box that has the shared folder. This should definitely allow access and prove that your login rights are the problem.


You wrote 'I gave myself privlages by browsing thru the listing of machines on the network'

I'm a bit confused as to how you gave yourself rights. Did you assign your user login from Active Directory to the share ?

Something to watch for is that deny's always take precedent even if you have allowed full control- check the advanced properties to make sure that there are no inherited deny rights ( or conversely, that you do have the correct inherited rights).

Bit difficult to properly diagnose this one without more info on what you have already tried.
