problem with file sharing on two-computer network
many hours of web research by this network neophyte has failed to find any
mention of the following network file-share problem: two xp sp2 computers (with latest updates, except sp3) are ethernet connected through a zyxel prestige 334 router. call one "server" the other "client." the server has four hard drives, two internal and two external. the latter are ieee1394 daisy-chained. the external drives, which are the problem, have security set to full control for everyone. simple file sharing is disabled on both computers. computers have identical account name and password. accounts are administrative type. firewall and antivirus are disabled on both. the client cannot add, remove or alter a file or folder on the server external drives. it can only open folders and view and read files. however, client can change security settings for the external drives. client has full control of server's internal drives. if either of the server's external drives is moved to client, connected to client via ieee1394, client has full control. in summary, any external drive ieee1394 connected to server limits client access; same drive connected to client gives client full control. is this a problem with a setting in the server registry? if so, which one(s)? |

problem with file sharing on two-computer network
Hi
Are you aware that every One does not mean Everyone to happened to log in. Everyone, means everyone that is on an existing allow list. It was made to save the need on big Network to check, uncheck many accounts one after the other, it does not mean everyone that is trying to use the Sharing. If you are a sole user and do not care about specific security you can switch On and configure the Guest user. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).
