Robert,

please have a look at http://www.michna.com/kb/WxNetwork.htm.

One point is that for sharing other than simple file sharing to
work you need two separate permissions, one for the share and
one for each object (file, folder) you want to share. You may
have to check and modify the latter permissions.
