| | Network computers wont allow shared files... Im having trouble with File Sharing on my NEtwork. I can get all my Stations to "See" one another, and I have set up permissions on the "server" but I can't seem toget them to connect. Everytime I try and access the C: Drive on the Server I get the following: "c" is available, but the user account you are trying to log on with was denied access. windows cannot further diagnose the problem because network diagnostics does not know the user name and password that is required to connect to the shared folder. Can anyone offer me any sort of advice on how to proceed? I have tried using the HELP Pages on the Microsoft help site, to no avail. |

| | Re: Network computers wont allow shared files... Hi For security reason Vista does not allow sharing of C: as a whole. You can share folders, or create one folder under C:\ and a structure of you own sub folder under it. Save your stuff there, and map the main folder as its own drive. Otherwise, successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

| | Re: Network computers wont allow shared files... OKay, My Mistake. I Pulled the C: Drive off the Share List, and Went back to Share the folder I needed Shared, and I still get the same issues.
