I can view files and folder from my other PC, I can even go into the default "sharedDocs" folder but I cant go into any of the other folders that I have shared on that computer. File sharing is on (hand underneath folder), firewalls are even turned off, permissions are set to anyone. Whats the deal?

What happens when you try and access the shares? What are the NTFS permissions as well as the Shared ones? I assume you mean "Everyone" and not "anyone." :)

Access denied error is what I get. Not sure where you view the NTFS permissions but under properties, security, I have the files able to be read, edit, etc. by everyone (full access, not anyone thanks for the corection).

Also, under sharing tab, permissions, I have it set to everyone. I moved the folder under the shareddocs. This was the folder that I was not having trouble with. Now some of the files/folders I can access and some of them I cant. Very strange. I tried resetting the settings, un-sharing the sharedDocs folder and then re-sharing it, did not do anything.

they both are xp SP2, XP automatically setup the network, do I have uninstall the current setup then go through the wizard? Or should I just run the wizard. Where do you check/uncheck simple file sharing? Its almost like the permissions are sticking and not changing when I change them, thats all that I can come up with.
