when i try to share files i get a message saying access denied. I need
permission. i have checked the file sharing box on the files i want to share.
I am the admin. some files work without getting message and some give me the
message. i am running xp prof on both comps. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
 
If Misery loves company, they you have company. I have the same problem.
"Access Denied" when I try and connect to my Eprinter on my XP machine.
 
This reply about printing is interesting and useful but does not answer jms's
question. Does anyone else know anything about the original problem? I am
experiencing the same thing, in my case with Vista housing the drive I want
to share and XP trying to get at it from a laptop. After logging in as
administrator and giving all the permissions I can, I still am stopped at the
end with the same message, which includes no information about why, it just
says "access denied." On the laptop, it simply says, "not accessible," you
might not have permission to use this network resource."
 
Sorry but I was reading over thing, I have tried all this right down to
getting to new port, my problem - my laptop running vist will not accept the
\\ Slashe at all, I can type it in without but then it still doesn't work use
them and it says the pathname or network is valid. So I am still stumped at
what to do next.
