Hi,
I'm trying to share a folder and I get an error message:

"Error trying to share <foldername>. The data are inadmissible.
The shared resource has not been created."

(The original message in German: "Beim Versuch <foldername>
freizugeben ist ein Fehler aufgetreten. Die Daten sind unzulässig. Die
freigegebene Ressource ist nicht erstellt worden.")

I'm aware my translation doesn't necessarily meet the exact Microsoft
terminology but I hope it's understandable and that someone can help
me.

BTW, the "Server" service (LanmanServer) is started and running. I
tried the same as the administrator but the problem persists.

Cheers,
Dieter

If I enter:

net share test=C:\test

I get (translation): System error 13 has occurred. The data is
invalid.

Microsoft sez: This problem is because there is an invalid HINFO
record in the zone file. To resolve this problem, correct the HINFO
record.

Where is my zone file?
 
Can you do net share test=c:\SharedDocs?
