"No permission to access resource" on NT

[storer]

In my office, I am the only one with Windows NT and the computers are networked (I am not the server.) Using Network Neighborhood, I can get into my co-worker's computers but when she tries to access mine she gets the message:"//my computer is not accessible" and then "No permission to access resource". When I double click the icon for my computer, the only folders shown are my printer folders and my printer is shared by others on the network...but there is no folder for my c drive. I've looked all over and can't find where to change this. We are assuming it has something to do with being Windows NT and our systems person is not real familiar with NT...so I'm waiting for a call from tech support. Any suggestions?
Thanks for you help!

You need to set up whatever you want your coworker to be able to access as a share on your machine. Go into Windows Explorer and right click on the folder you want her to be able to access. Select sharing and then specify that it is to be shared and give it a share name and set permissions--giving full permissions to administrators (and to yourself if you aren't an admin) and change permissions (or just read if she doesn't need to change anything) for everyone should do it.

I tried what you suggested and actually the folder was already set up as default share but I changed it (not default) and the file did show up when I double click the icon for my computer in network neighborhood...and I changed permissions from everybody to administrator and everybody with full control and still no luck.

I stumbled across the remote asscess admin and tried to set a domain and start access remote with no luck. Does that have anything to do with a network? I'm kind of winging it here which I know is dangerous. The person who knows Windows NT is out of state til next week. I'm starting to wonder if when they set up the network, they didn't connect me right or at all...except I can get into other people's computers. When I try to access my computer from another computer the messages I get are "Do not have appropriate access rights" and "windows cannot connect to \\my computer. Make sure you have administratvie privileges for \\my computer, that it is on the network and has user lever access control enabled and that the remote registry service is enabled on both computers." Couldn't find the remote registry service unless that is same as remote access admin. Any thoughts?!? Thanks for your help!

are you logging into an NT server? or is this just a peer to peer network?
if it is NT server then follow this
go into your network controll pannel> then click on access controll> then make sure user level access controll is checked and that the NT domain is filled in

if it is peer to peer go into your network controll pannel> then click on access controll> then make sure share level access controll is check

and the remote access admin and remote registry services you should not have to touch at all. even if this dosnt fix it i would STRONGLY suggest not messing around with either of those.

Hope that helps

You must have a user name set up for her on YOUR NT WORKSTATION. If she does not have one set up you will get that error. There has to be a username for her on the server AND on your workstation.

One thing that stumped me for an hour may help you...

When you are setting up the user name and passowrd to logon to Windows 95/98, remember that you must use the exact same user name and password (case sensitive) when you add the user in WinNT/2000 in order for your Win95/98 machine to be able to access already shared folders.

Mine was a case where I had everything set up right other than the password in 2000 for my 98 user. I had left the password blank in the user profile in 2000, but was using a password when I logged onto Windows 98. I corrected this by changing the 2000 password for my 98 comptuer to the Windows98 logon (not network logon) password. I was then able to use my Windows 98 comptuer to browse all of the shared folders on my 2000 computer. (I hope I made sense).
