From: RHE09 on 21 Nov 2009 07:28 I need to share files in computer A with some selected user but not others. I'm using 2 computers running on XP Pro SP3. I followed the steps in http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/share.mspx to set up the folder share. When I navigate from computer B's network places, I can see the shared folder I setup for it in computer A. When i double click on it, I get an access denied error (not accessible). When I right click on the folder and choose map network drive and then connect using different username, and the enter the credentials for the user \\A\username that I created for this purpose, the don't get accepted. What am I doing wrong?

From: Jack [MVP-Networking] on 21 Nov 2009 21:46 Hi Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.

Then it could be a 3rd party security software. For troubleshooting, try clean boot on both computers. -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "RHE09" <RHE09(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:695AFB46-8FA7-4B99-AC8E-0FD5E9765EFB(a)microsoft.com... > Yes, mirroring the NTFS permissions. > > "Bob Lin (MS-MVP)" wrote: > >> Have you also assigned permissions in the security tab?
