Re: file sharing only works for some files, not all

This is caused by insufficient access rights, not by
sharing problems. Log on as administrator in Safe
Mode, then grab ownership of this file. Click Start / Help,
then search for "Permissions" or "Ownership" if unsure
how to do this.

OK, apparently I have access to that one...I just tried another MP3
(using the steps from your prior post) and ended up with an "access is
denied" message when trying to do the cacls command...

Your report tells me that you belong to the local

full access to "Z:\2 Unlimited - Twilight Zone (Rave Mix).mp3".

If you now open another Command Prompt and type this
command:
copy "Z:\2 Unlimited - Twilight Zone (Rave Mix).mp3" c:\

then the command should work (according to these permissions)
but it should fail (according to your initial post). Which is it, and
what message do you see?

As for the other question as to what versions of XP I'm running, the
computer I'm having issues with as well as the wireless computer
(which
interestingly enough works fine) are both running MCE, the other two
computers are running XP Pro.

Get yourself into a situation where you ***cannot*** copy
a given file, then do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
net user "%UserName% > c:\test.txt
cd /d "X:\Some Folder\Some Subfolder" {Enter}
(type the actual drive and folder names!)
cacls "Some file name" >> c:\test.txt {Enter}
(type the name of the problem file)
notepad c:\test.txt {Enter}
- Paste the text into your reply.
- Using "My Computer", navigate to the place where you
have created the share.
- Click "Sharing", then click the "Permissions" button. What do you
see?

I have checked multiple times, I don't have any special
permissions
set...unless I'm checking the wrong thing. Where exactly should I
be
looking?

I have an odd situation...

I've got four computers all linked together using two separate
routers
- a Linksys BEFSR41 wired router, and a Linksys WRT54G
wireless
router.
Two of the computers are wired to the BEFSR41, one is wired
to
the
WRT54G, the other is on a wireless connection from the WRT54G.

The two routers are uplinked together using a crossover cable,
and
all
the computers are on the same subnet - the wired router is
192.168.1.1,
and is acting as the gateway and DHCP server. The wireless
router
is
192.168.1.2.

The problem is that I'm having issues with Windows file
sharing...very
odd issues. I can see all files on all shares, that's not a
problem.
The issue is that I can only copy certain files across the
network,
not
all files. For example: I have a share on the computer that
is
wired
to the WRT54G that has several MP3 files and several text and
Word
documents. I can copy any of the documents across the network
without
any issues...I can copy NONE of the MP3s across the network.
I
always
get an access denied message when attempting to do so.

To further confuse me here, I CAN copy the MP3s across the
network
if
they are in a subfolder of that main share...and I CAN copy
all
files
if I'm on the wireless computer. This led me to believe that
maybe it
was an issue between the two routers, but that wouldn't
explain
why I
can copy some files, and also why I can access the MP3s from
subfolders.

Can someone please help me? I'm extremely confused by this...


When you get an "access denied" message then you are always
dealing with a permission issue, never with a transport or
networking issue. Check your NTFS permissions, check your
share permissions!
