Problem sharing SOME of my folders 1

[ProfReynolds]

Okay, I am totally flumoxed at this point.

I am using Microsoft File and Printer Sharing
Simple File Share is turned off
Firewall is turned off
6 folders are shared
"Everyone" is listed in all folders with full access

The problem is that although 3 folders work just fine, 3 of them give network access errors when access is attempted.

I am at a loss...

Anyone know what I may be missing here???

Thanks!

Can you tell us where exactly the 3 folders with problems are located?

Folders in say My Documents have added Security, so you need to fix the Security permissions when you want to share them.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

What are the network access errors you get, in detail what do they say??? Are all of those folders attempted to be accessed from the same remote computer? More info would be helpful

Working shares:
[ul]
[li]C:\From Joe[/li]
[li]C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents[/li]
[li]D:\File Server Backup[/li]
[li]D:\Joe's Music[/li]
[/ul]

Non-Working Shares:
[ul]
[li]C:\DevJobs[/li]
[li]C:\QuickBooks Data File[/li]
[/ul]

(sorry, I miscounted, it's 4 working, 2 not working)

The specific error is:
\\Computer Name\Folder Name is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions.

I work out of my home. We have several computers here trying to access my shared files. They all have the same allowed\disallowed folders.

There are 2 sets of permissions on each folder... Share permissions and NTFS permissions... Make sure that both allow everyone full control

Ah! Found it.

Thanks!

Did my previous suggestion solve your problem? If not, tell us what you did if you did solve the problem so others can learn and solve their problems

Yes, the NTFS permission was the problem.

When I had looked at the NTFS side before, I could have SWORN "Everyone" was listed, but sure enough it wasn't.

I can't find a "Mark as Answer" button on the thread, but I did click the "Thank brokenhalo" button.
