Did you make sure to turn off "Simple File Sharing?" In Windows Explorer,
go to Tools, select Folder Options, go to the View tab, remove the check
from "Use simple file sharing," click apply and ok.
NOTE: this option does not appear in folder options in XP Home Edition
unless you boot to Safe Mode. Boot the system, start tapping F8, select
Safe Mode when the menu appears and press enter.
