cant fileshare good

[msfan]

im on a lan, enable sharing, simple filesharing it is not on. i shared the c
drive, d drive, my documents folder and so forth. access denied. permission
denied. i went into server pc and gave it full and checked everything for
who has access to what in the sharing menu when you right click on the
drives and folders. i give every type of user account full permission,
users, admin, everyone, etc all is checked for everything for full access
yet access is denied with a permission denied etc type error.

Ok, the simplest question is this.

How do i enable filesharing on the entire hard drive so anyone can have full
access with the least amount of menues to go through and buttons to click
on? i have done this many times and nothing works, i have asked here for
help and no one helps. they tell me to go to this networking site that says
to do what i have already done and nothing helps. so would someone please
tell me step by step a 100% working way?

I had the exact same error when connecting a Win2K Pro machine to a WinXP
Pro machine.

All I did to fix the problem was this:
1. Run the wizard to setup a new network under WinXP.
2. Use the WinXP CD to run the same wizard on the Win2K machine.
3. Unshare all the Administrative shares on the Win2K machine. All the
harddrives, for instance, on Win2K are automatically shared as $C, $D etc.
Simply go to the sharing tab for each drive and unshare the drive. Do the
same procedure for the My Documents folder. Then reshare any folders, drives
that you need.
4. This is obvious, but I have to mention it Make sure that your firewall
is configured correctly. This naturally causes problems if you don't set it
up correctly.

After doing this, everything worked perfectly well.
