Hi. I just got a notebook and have connected it to my desktop and am trying to setup Briefcase on XP to sync my files. My first little test and already a problem. I created a briefcase on the notebook and copied a test document into it. I edited the doc, closed it and then tried to update the briefcase but it always tells me it can't because it's read-only. I have checked the file, the folder its, in everything and none of them are read-only checked! Any ideas?

Some things to look at, I'm not sure if they will help though, maybe you are having problems with the file sharing.
