Hello,

My configuration is
EPOX 8KDA3J (nforce3)
AMD64 3200+
1024 DDR
HDD : Samsung SP1614C

My harddisk is shown in the system tray as a USB device.
Can it give problems when I want to share this harddisk?

In my network, I can access another computer, but from the other computer I
can't access mine.
On the other computer, network location, my computer is shown but I can't
enter. I get a messagebox "you don't have the right to access the computer".
There are no firewalls active. I've installed SP2, Uninstalled SP2, but it
doesn't work.

I think the harddisk that is shown as a USB device is the cause, although
I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me?

Thx,
Weeepie

Are you certain it's the hard drive, not a USB drive or
memory reader/bay-thingy, a printer with media bay or some
other removable storage device?

Did you set up shares? i mean, set a new share for the LAN?

Do you have filesharing implemented on this system at all,
in network properites and then drives in My Computer?

Yes, All partitions, except C:\ are shared. In Network
allocations everything I can see them.

But the question USB device stays.
