I've got the biggest headache over this.
I've got 5 computers on my network, 3 run on XP, one on Vista 64 and the other is Vista 32. I've set up the network correctly, every computer can see each other. All are in the same workgroup with uniqe ID's. All computers have File Sharing turned on and "should" be ready to swap files.
This is a bit tricky to explain, i'll do my best and if you need more info i'll be glad to help you help me.
My main rig runs Vista 64. This computer can open the main sharing folders of all computers on the network. However, when i try to open files i get the error "you need permission to open this file". This happens about 70% of the time.
My HTPC "CITRUS" runs XP 32. This computer can see all shared folders but can only access one folder on one of the other XP 32 box's. The error is something along the lines of "you dont have permission to access the file - contact your system admin"
The other computers all have simmillar problems. Some can access certin files on other computers but it seems to be random.
I had thought it might have been individual file attributes set to read-only but after changing attributes and setting's for folder options to apply to decendant folders. I still dont have full access. Vista computers have "full control" permissions set on all network folders for all users.
Im Stumped, Help Please!
