Vista/XP

[Guest]

Hi,

Can anyone help please, we have small wired network at home.

My PC is running Vista Ultimate and the other PC, my wifes, is running XP
service pack 2.

On the rear of my machine are three USB hard drives which are all shown on
my wifes PC as mapped network drives, she can only access one of them, the
other two will not allow access, all three drive have the same permissions
set on them.

Any one any ideas please, its driving me mad.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the reply, no luck.
I disconected and reconected the network drives, checked all the permissions
were the same, they were, but still we can only access one of the three
diskes from my wifes PC when tey are mapped drives, the strange thing, if I
try to access them via "My network places" on my wifes PC, I can still only
access one of the three, and get access denied on the other two.

Regards

Ray

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your time, I tried the Icacls command, no luck the system
returned the following message "The system cannot find the path specified".

But I think upon further investigation, I may have found the answer, If go
in to the properites of the drive the other PC can access, on the security
tab under group or user names their is a heading called "everyone", on the
two drives the other PC cannot access this is not their, could this be the
answer?, if so, please could you tell me how to add the it step bty step
please.

regards

Ray

Hi Robert,

Panic over, cracked it, just followed my nose, added the user "everone" to
to drive, set the permissions and accesss was granted first time.

Hope this thread helps others.

Thank you Ray.
