I want to share my Vista D drive with the XP Pro and Win2K machines on
my network. The machines all see and can access each other, and the Vista machine sees and can access the shared resources I have on the XP and Win2K machines. Those machines see and can access the resources in the Vista machine's Public folder. I've also turned on sharing for the D drive on the Vista machine, and though the XP and Win2K machines can see the contents of the D drive, they can't access anything, e.g., even trying to read a file or folder leads to an access error. (This means that the contents of the Vista D drive are shown in the explorer on the XP and Win2K machines, but trying to read any of the shown entries leads to an access error.) I've turned on sharing for a couple of folders on the D drive on the Vista machine, and that lets the XP and Win2K machines access the contents of those directories for read-only, but though I've read the many posts related to this issue in this newsgroup as well as the MS web pages they refer to, I can't find a way to share my entire D drive with the other machines on my network, nor can I find a way to give the other machines write/modify access to the files on my Vista machine. My goal is to give full read/write/modify access to all files on my D drive to all machines on my network. Any suggestions? Thanks, Scott |

Use icacls command to check the permissions. For example the XP IP is 192.168.1.2, do "icacls \\192.168.1.2\d". Post back with the result.

On both computers, do "net share >c:\netshare.txt". then post both netshare results here.

So they can see each other but not access. Do one more thing: net use h: \\xpip\d /u:username (the username is one logging on XP). Do you receive system error? If you do, can you turn off all firewall for a test?
