    Access Store Over Network

    Hey Everyone,

    I have a store defined on a remote computer on my network. When I use
    explorer and navigate to that computer I can see the store (I have a couple
    defined, the default, a new one, and a folder in the new store with a
    folder).



    Can I, or is it possible with this release to view the contents of the store
    over the network? Everytime I try and click on the folder through explorer I
    get the following message: "\\dev\defStoreFolder is not acessible. You might
    not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administartor
    of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."

    I have full admin to the machine...am I missing something somewhere? Thanks!

    Hi Ben,

    This should not happen. Only administrators have remote access to the root
    share (by default). If you are an admin in the machine that you are
    connecting to, you should have connectivity. We are trying this out on our
    Beta2 bits in the making and get back to you.

    thanks,
    Simon

    Ben,

    Could you please write in a bit more about your setup? What is running the
    source machine and the remote machine?

    thanks,

    Simon,
    We have tried it in a couple of situations, all machines running xp sp2, all
    have winfs beta 1 installed. All have shared the default store, and have
    created a new store and shared it also. All report:

    "\\machinename\store folder is not accessible. You might not have
    permission to use this netowrk resource. Contact the administartor of this
    server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."

    All machines we are administrators on, with other folders shared and fully
    accessible though explorer. The machine combinations we have tried are:

    1. Between two xp2 machines, one on our domain, one off the domain
    2. Two tablet pc's, one on the domain, one not.
    3. A regular pc and a tablet, both on the domain
    4. A tablet on the domain, and a pc off the domain

    Each instance reports the same message as above. McAfee enterprise 7.1 is
    running on all of the machines along with Microsoft anti-spyware/Windows
    Defender. We have vs2005 installed on a couple of the machines also, but not
    all.

    If there is anything else I can add please let me know. Thanks again.

    Ben,

    Couple of our security QA folks are on training. This is being
    investigated - I'll get back to you soon.

    thanks,
