Re: when connecting to a pc through Remote Desktop Connection (locally or remotely) local drive is not accessible

Hi Laurin,

File and Print Sharing turned on at the PC Y?
Windows (or other) firewall on PC Y set to allow exception for File and
Print Sharing (and all ports checkmarked - 137, 138, 139, 445)?

Soapbox On...

I usually don't recommend the drives be connected on an RDP or RWW
connection. Since you don't have control over the "home" PC, it may be a
perfect medium to transmit malware into your SBS network. All work should
be done directly on the LAN workstation via RWW.

Ok I have a winxp client computer on our sbs2k3 server box. This one
client computer does not display your local drives when connecting through
rdp, weather remotely, or in office.

for example. Connecting to pc x from pc y, I cannot see pc y's hard drives
when conencted to pc x. I have tried all the other computers and sure
enough you can use your local drive. I tried logging on the target pc as a
basic domain users, power user, and even domain admin, but still no drives
showing up. We really just want a user to be able to connect from home,
and copy and paste files between his computers.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
L
