iBook Privileges Problem

[garcpr]

I have had an iBook for about 4 months. Got it as a more secure
interface to the Internet.

I continue to use a WXP PC for software reasons. Wireless networking
between the two works fairly well. But, I occasionaly cannot transfer
a file from the WXP PC to the iBook, and have to transfer with a flash
drive.

This just happened again and I'd like to clear the problem up. The
iBook can see the file listed in Shared Documents on the PC. BUT,
when I try to write it to the iBook disk or open it in Textedit, I get
the msg. "You do not have sufficient privileges for this" Happens
repeatedly after reauthorizing, rebooting, etc.

Using iBook Get Info on the file listed in Shared Docs indicates I
have read and write privileges on the file.

I'd appreciate it if someone can explain what the problem is.

Thanks.

1. Select folder
2. Open Properties - Security tab
3. Allow EVERYONE to have at least READ access(maybe write too )
4. Copy the file if this works.

Thanks. Good tip.

I thought I had taken care of all this sort of thing, but I see there
was one more level of permissions to go.

Unfortunately, I've crippled by nietwork generally by something else i
tried, so I won't be able to tell if this solves the problem till I get
it back working.

Thanks.
