Hi,
I've already asked this question but did not get a
successful relpy so I'm trying again.

I'm on a large LAN of about 200 computers on a workgroup.
I can access the net, play games, and everthing else -
EXCEPT I can't share foldes. Others on the LAN can see my
computer in the workgroup but when they open it up it
says they don't have permission. Other people on the LAN
are sharing stuff with XP without any problems at all.
I've activated the guest account (not sure if that
helps). If anyone has any ideas they would be much
appreciated. Thanks
 
Dear, First Tell me that whether ur using Simple file sharing or Advance Sharing In Your PC. Open My Computer and then click tools And then Folder Options and then View. Check that what method of sharing u r using. If the Simple Sharing is Unchecked, check it and then apply it. And the Share the folder.
Bye
 
My experience was to create a new folder under the C root. Give it all
sharing permissions. Share the C volume. Don't name the new folder
"shared"" or anything using that name. Put some benign file in it and then
you can "trouble shoot".
