Network Permissions - basic

[Nimh]

Hi there, we have 2 XP pc's on a basic network, one shares printer and a dial up connection to the other fine.

We want to be able to fully access each others hard drives. (without sharing to other pc's if we add them to network)

How is this done?

Ive put the two users in administrators group on each pc but we dont have complete access for the drive. i.e When viewing in explorer we can see the drive but nearly every folder says permission denied.

thanks for help

I dont know the other ways if exist, so here is my solution;

1) Disable "Use simple file sharing" in Folder options on both pc's.

2) Open an iexplorer and type the ip adress of the other pc followed with the $[drive letter].

Example:

\\987.654.321.012\c$

means I want to access to c drive of the computer that has the ip {987.654.321.012}...

It may ask a username and password. Then type the account name and it's password that has administrator rights on the pc being accessed and fully access that drive..

Hope it works for you...

Hi,

probably the NTFS Permissions on your Folders arent's set up in the way that the other user can access them.

Check your Permissions for the Folders (or the entire drive if you want) to let the user of the other PC has the permissions you want (Right Mouse on Folder/Drive->Properties->Security). If you modify the permissions, be sure to check the "Replace Permissions Entries ...." in the Advanced Tab.
