Re: Sharing access denied -Too confused or stupid to figure out sh

Thank you. I will research Remote Control Program. What confused me is that
until I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro & SP2 on computer on which program
resides, I could run it from laptop through network.

The current configuration is: USB for wireless broadband is attached to PC1
running XP Pro SP2. Wireless router wired to PC1. Laptop (& PC3) accesses
wireless router with wireless adapters & share internet. Right now I can see
all 3 from laptop listed under workgroups. I can see the folders I've set to
share on PC 1 from laptop & PC3, I have access denied when trying to open;
even a document folder.

Do you know of a "File Sharing for Dummies" book, website, tutorial, etc?
I've seen searching for almost a week, & have spent countless hours trying to
figure out why what I had working before reinstall debacle now does not work.

TY

It is Not clear to ne your current Network topology and how the local

However in general you can share files through a Network, you can Not run a

Hi
This does not relate directly to the share problem.
But you would have a better chance for a good connection, and sharing if

would switch to External Ethernet and uniform Network rather than using
USB
Modem and thus probably employing double NAT.

Help please!

I had to reinstall Windows XP Pro & SP2 (with Microsoft tech help) on
PC1.
Since then, although I have the wireless network running & the internet
shared with laptop (running Media Edition 2005 - all updates current)
and
another PC, I can no longer run a program installed on the PC1 as
shared
from
laptop. PC1 has wireless broadband USB modem attached that others
share,
and
connects to the router with a cable.

Prior to the above Windows debacle, I could.

PC1 has Program X installed that I want to run/access from laptop
(rather
than using laptop hard drive space to install). In fact, since the
above,
I
can't access any program folders I've set to share on PC1 from laptop.
I
get
the message:

"\\computername\program(folder name) is not accessible. You might not
have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this
server to find out if you have access permissions."

Access Denied

All above without quotes.

I've read through lots of posts here & tried Help & Support on PC1 &
laptop,
& I thought I had my settings & permission correct, but obviously, I
don't.

I ran Network Setup Wizard on both PC1 & laptop. The problem I
encountered
is that as I ran this on PC1, it disabled (sometimes) ICS & laptop had
no
internet access (wireless adapter showed connected to network with good
signal strength, but "limited or no connectivity" - for internet).
I've
been
through this so……….. many times, I don't remember if it disabled all
the
time. I thought it was because the wireless broadband modem is
attached
to
PC1 rather than router. Once I re-enabled ICS, laptop had access to
internet
(but don't know if it will "force" USB modem to dial if PC1 not already
signed on).

On PC 1 with Program X, I disabled SFS, and then shared the program
folder
on PC1 that I am trying to access from laptop, (along with 2 others I
tried
to access in case the problem is specific to the individual program).

On laptop, under My Network Places the folder I'm trying to "run" from
laptop appears with the above-cited access denied message. Somewhere I
thought I read something about User accounts & passwords on the 2
computers,
so right now, both Users have same name - my 1st name), & no password.
The
Widows firewalls on both PC1 & laptop have the program's .exe file as
an
exception (but not other files I shared for test).

Sorry if this is too long, but I tried to cover things I think I've
seen
asked by "helper," including MVPs when trying to help others.

Is there an easy to understand tutorial for those of us who don't know
anything about file sharing, permissions, etc.?

I've read some of PChuck's Network sites (below are 2), however, I may
be
too tired or frustrated for them to make any sense (my problem of
course)

Thank you Jack. I don’t understand what you mean by switching to
“External Ethernet and uniform Network rather than using USB Modem and
thus
probably employing double NAT.”

Here’s my situation: We live in an area where neither cable nor DSL are
available for high-speed Internet; my only option is wireless broadband
through Verizon Wireless, that’s why I’m using the USB modem.
