File Sharing Problem

I_Am_Vengeance · 9 Jan 2007 at 21:56

Hi there
I jsut got a dg834g, set it up on my Pc and internet works fine. Laptop picks up the connection fine also, but doesnt pick up the shared files folder that i set up on my Pc. But the Pc picks up the shared files folder that i set up on the laptop. Gives me this error " you might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact administrator " blabla. Any ideas? Not sure why i need access permission from laptop to pc but not the other way around.

Any help appreciated
Thanks

Must be someone who knows how to resolve the:

" You might not have permisson to use this resource. Contact administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. " " logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer "

Ripping my hair out over this.

Check the you have enabled file sharing on both computers (netowrk settings)

Are you using simple file sharing?
If not, make sure your permissions are set up correctly.

Otherwise try logging on to the computer as adminstrator

> net use \\PC1 /user:administrator *
[then enter password]

then try access the folder.

Are both machines set up with the same workgroup name ?

ok, so now i can access drives from laptop to PC and PC to Laptop, but now its saying " access is denied " when i try to copy files or cut and paste files e.t.c

are permissions set up correctly?

firewall?

file and printer sharing enabled on network interface?

the thing with networking is that it can be complicated to troubleshoot - and there's probably a 100 guides on how to do that on google already. That's why no one replied to your thread instantly after you posted it.

perhaps in future try telling people what you have done to try and resolve the problem already.

I get precisely the same problem using the same router. I can get onto my housemates computer but they cannot access any of my files. If i want to transfer anything accross i just have to use an iPod or something similar. Tried so many different things it's driving me crazy!

Hi again

Pretty much got everything shared apart from program files, windows, documents & settings on my Master drive. When viewing say Program Files properties and clicking the Sharing tab, everything is blanked out with a message at the bottom telling me " All the options on this tab are disabled because this folder is used by the operating system ". Is this normal ? I've been in safe mode and set up permissions to allow everyone access, still to no avail.

Tried that route before posting, no joy.

The options here (Windows XP Pro with SP2) will let me share the Program Files folder, but I'm not clear - you can access everything else apart from Program Files, Documents and Settings et al?

I have two drives on my PC, Master and Slave. From my Laptop, i can access/modify all of the Slave, i can access/modify the shareddocs folder. I can also access the Master i just cant access Program Files, Windows e.t.c once im IN the Master. Despite the fact that i set up file sharing the same way on each drive:

Drive > Properties > Sharing Tab > Check Boxes " Share this folder on the network " and " Allow network users to change my files "

I also went into safe mode to check permissions on each drive, installed NWLink Netbios protocol in the LAN properties and carried out various other " fixes " like setting "restrictanonymous " to 0 in the registry.

One thing i dont understand is why i have a Network Bridge in Network Connections, dont remember seeingt that the last time i set up networking. Doubt that would be the cause though.
