Simple File Sharing on not. This makes a big difference in the
accessing of files over the network. The following article might be
helpful:

In Simple File sharing, all users connect through the "Guest"
account. With Simple File Sharing disabled, users authenticate with
a username/password either configured locally on the computer or
through a domain.
Another possibility...
In addition to sharing permissions when you set up file sharing,
there are also permissions set on the folder itself tham should match
(Right-click folder, Properties, Security Tab should match
permissions on the "Sharing" tab.
I don't have access to that computer right now, but will check this out tomorrow. The link you provided is very helpful, and will hopefully help me to enable access to that computer's drives from others on the network.
Do you have any insight on the Password issue? I realize that may be a moot point if I'm able to enable drive access using the first section of your reply, but I'd still like to understand what's going on in this regard.
