filesharing prob

[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?

Check the Windows Firewall on all computers. If you're
on a hub/router, Windows automatically sets the Windows
firewall, which doesn't allow sharing.

Start> Control panel> <your connection out i.e. LAN card,
wireless, etc.> > and click on the ADVANCED tab. Make
sure the "protect" box is unchecked.

I run ZoneAlarm on all my computers, and my router has a
firewall as well.

I'm not haveing any firewall issues. win xp is off by default no matter what
and i never use it.

so it's not a firewall issue.
