Ah!!! I'm about to pull my hair out here. : I know there's someone here who can help me. I've searched the www.answers.microsoft.com site and couldn't find a solution to my problem. Here's the issue:
I want to share my D: and E: drives on my Desktop with my old lady's Netbook. Simple, right? I right click on the drive, click Properties, click Sharing, click Advanced Sharing. Then I put a check in the box "Share this folder". The share name is set as "D". I click on the permissions button and highlight the "Everyone Group" And put a tick in the "Full Control" box. I then click Apply, Apply, and one more Apply till all boxes are closed.
I go to my netbook and open my Network. I see my Desktop and the D: and E: shares. When I double click on them to access them, I get the message "Windows Cannot Access \\Desktop\d. You do not have permission to access \\Desktop\d. Contact your network administrator to request access". The same problem occurs when I try to access my C: drive on the netbook from my desktop.
My Desktop's name is "Desktop" and my netbook name is "Netbook" (Awesome I know, right? ) Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled over IPv4. My network settings are set like the picture says. And my problem is also shown. My Desktop is running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and the Netbook is running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.
Is there something I'm missing?? It used to be in XP just share a folder, set the permissions, and that was it. I miss that simplicity...
