Re: Domain and Workgroup problem

Not sure I really followed most of this, but:

1. If the workstation is joined to the domain; and you are logging onto the
domain (Not the Local Machine); then the domain user account you use to
logon should have whatever rights to shared folders are provided through a
combination of Share and NTFS permissions. Check to make sure that the user
account is not a member of any groups for which permissions to the Share are
specifically denied.

2. On the machine providing shared resources, go to Administrative
Tools/Local Security Policy/Local Policies/User Rights Assignment. Make
sure that the user is either listed or a member of a group which has the
Access this computer from the network right. Make sure that the user is not
listed or a member of a group which has the Deny access to this computer
from the network right. Also, check Group Policy to see if contrary
settings are being applied.
