So I'm at the new job, it's not even the first day, and my boss asks m
if I could set up Printer Sharing and File Sharing. I say yes eve
though I've had zero experience with either. It's only two computers
and I managed to get the printer sharing to work after fiddling with i
for hours only to figure out Norton Requires that you add the IP's t
the Trusted list for filesharing etc.
On to filesharing...
So What I did was Map Network Drive, and called it O:
I created a folder on JOEOFFICE (which is computer 1). I set permissio
for "all users" to co-owners. All through the list, everything i
co-owner in permissions. Both the folder and the O: Drive are bein
shared and are visible on both computers.
Computer two - FRONTOFFICE. I can see the O: drive fine. I place
shortcut to the O: drive on the desktop for ease of use. Although thi
computer flashes that I "Don't have permission" to do anything othe
than read the files on this mysterious O: drive. So, editing, adding
and removing files are obviously out of the question (whereas I can d
all of that on computer one). I redid all of the permission settings t
the best of my knowledge and ability and I cannot find the computer'
name on the user list within permissions for the O: drive, and mor
specifically, the folder that the drive is mapped to (which is where
believe the problem enlies). Any ideas on how to add a user t
permissions to force Vista to see the FRONTOFFICE computer?!?!
FYI - In the network map, both computers see eachother fine, an
printer sharing is not a problem. So I believe all Norton firewal
stuff is in order. Also no windows firewall, and a lynksis router i
being used. Any other info necessary will be gladly provided in
timely fashion. Thanks so much and sorry for the novel.
