File sharing on network

[sheeshkabaab]

Well I have problem sharing files from my computer (Xp home sp2) to other computers on the network. I have run the network wizards and disabled the firewalls. But other computers still get and error " you might not have the permission to use this network resource. Access denied"

I am able to access files on other computers on the network but not one is able to access my computer.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thx.

Does everyone have the proper permissions to access the shared resource/s?

Enable your guest account.

This is assuming you are using a workgroup (decentralized or "peer to peer") arrangement. I also assume youve disabled simple file sharing (explorer > tools >Folder options... > view tab > advanced settings pane > Uncheck the "use simple file sharing" tickbox). Create a local user account on your computer, give it NTFS and share permissions to access the folder(s) you wish to share, then have the other users in your network go to map the folder(s) as network drive(s). During this process they should click the "connect using a different user name" text in the map network drive dialog box - have the network users enter the username and password of the the local user account you created a minute ago.
