Sharing files in a workgroup environment

[Vindaya]

In my office I have three Windows XP Pro computers
connected to a workgroup. One of the computers (main-
computer) hold shared files, that can be accessed by
other two computers.

When any one of the other two computers created a folder
or a file under the shared folder on the main computer,
that file could only be accessed by the computer that
created that folder or file. Same goes with the main-
computer. When a user working on the main-computer
creates a new folder on the main computer (under the
shared folder) that can not be accessed by the users of
the other two computers.

The files, folders that were there at the time of
creation of the share can be accessed by everyone without
a problem.

How should I approach to this problem.

Thanks

This sounds like a permissons issue. Check the permissions on the shares
involved and ensure the users of the other 2 machines have access. If
needed create local accounts for the other users on that machine and give
those accounts access
