Re: folder sharing

I tried your suggestion. I set up an account for machine #1 on
machine #3. I logged into machine#1 under that account. I then tried
to click on #3's icon in the workgroup window. I got the same error
message. Machine #1 does not have an account set up for machine#3.
Even so I am still able to access shared folders on #1 from machine
#3.

Any other suggestions?
