Hi Jason
OK>>>>> I think i've figured the problem...
ALTHOUGH FIXING IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY
i just created a new user account on the pc that WASNT accessing the shared
folder on 'server'
the account i created used the same username and password that i am using on
the laptop (which could access the shared folders) and also the same
username as i use on the 'server'
VOILA.... I could then access the shared folder...
SO... this HAS to be an issue with allowing a different user on another
worgroup pc to access the shared folders.
THE QUESTION NOW IS... HOW THE HELL DO I SET THIS PERMISSION???
I have looked at the permissions for the shared folders and everything i
tried has pretty much no effect... still can't access themn.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!!!
ARGGGHHHHHHH
PLEASE HELP......
YOURS
frustrated!!!!
