I want to share my Vista D drive with the XP Pro and Win2K machines on
my network. The machines all see and can access each other, and the
Vista machine sees and can access the shared resources I have on the XP
and Win2K machines. Those machines see and can access the resources in
the Vista machine's Public folder. I've also turned on sharing for the
D drive on the Vista machine, and though the XP and Win2K machines can
see the contents of the D drive, they can't access anything, e.g., even
trying to read a file or folder leads to an access error. (This means
that the contents of the Vista D drive are shown in the explorer on the
XP and Win2K machines, but trying to read any of the shown entries leads
to an access error.)
I've turned on sharing for a couple of folders on the D drive on the
Vista machine, and that lets the XP and Win2K machines access the
contents of those directories for read-only, but though I've read the
many posts related to this issue in this newsgroup as well as the MS web
pages they refer to, I can't find a way to share my entire D drive with
the other machines on my network, nor can I find a way to give the other
machines write/modify access to the files on my Vista machine. My goal
is to give full read/write/modify access to all files on my D drive to
all machines on my network.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Scott
