Trouble sharing files on home nework

[Lou Cherry]

Hi,
I have my laptop wireless networked to my desktop. While trying to configure
my desktop files to be shared with my laptop, I'm finding two problems.
1) When I uncheck the "Read-Only" in a folder's Properties dialogue box, it
doesn't stay unchecked. I check "apply", then I check "OK". When I go back
to the folder's Properties, "read-only" is checked.

2) When I check "Share thsi folder on the network" and "allow network users
to change my files", I get the "Confirm Attribute changes" dialogue box. I
check "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and filse", then click OK.
However, subfolders are not marked "shared"

What do I need to do to correct the above?

Hi Lou,

Are you using Simple File sharing ?

To check go to explorer and do Tools | Folder Otions | View tab and right
down the bottom make sure Simple file sharing is checked.

If it is, take it off and re apply it and see how it goes.


Good luck.
