Solved External Hard Drive On Network

Extensa

Hey Guys,

I just bought an external hard drive (Lacie 1TB Design by Neil Something model) and I wish to set it up so all computers on my network, which includes 3 laptops, and 1 desktop.

I connected it to the primary computer (most stationary) and installed as usual. I then proceeded to right-click and change properties for sharing. I have it set up to share, but for some reason, whenever a computer other than the one it is connected to tries to access it, I receive an error code 0x80070005.

All computers are on the same Workgroup and network and all have file sharing (without password) enabled. I am at wits end as to how to get this working.

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks,

Extensa
