I have two XP home machines sharing a cable connection on
a hub-router. I have one profile folder in the documents
and settings folder that I cant access from the other
machine. All other folders, for a profile or otherwise,
can be shared without a problem. Any ideas?
 
Figured it out...
The sharing permissions have to be set while logged into
each respective profile. Even though the checkbox for
sharing can be checked for another profile, it isn't
actually set unless you are logged in as that profile.
