Hi Jason
OK....i'll try and follow that.
when i use net view i get error 53. I tried the net use \\servername
/user:username that you suggested, but somehow the format wasn't accepted
and it didnt work.
However, I have this evening managed to access the shared folder on the
server from my laptop, although my laptop uses the same account name and
paasword as the 'server'. perhaps this may account for how i am able to see
the shared folders on the server???
However, i can see shared folders from 1laptop to another laptop, both of
which have different usernames and passwords!!!
I am convinced that the problem must lie in the permissions allowing access
to the shared folders although just how to set that up is a different
matter!!!!
If i go into permissions on the server, i am able to set permissions for
local users on the 'server' however i am not able to set permissions for any
other users/computers on the network (workgroup).
I guess what i may need to know is how to set permissions for other
workgroup pc's / users....????
