homecomputeraid Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Have you configured permissions on the folders you want the users to access? Right click on the folder you want to share, and select Properties. Then set the rights on the Sharing tab.You should remove the everyone group and add the users you want to access the folders.

homecomputeraid Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 It should prompt automatically if you're trying to connect to a shred resource. You can try setting the same rights on the Security tab as you have on the Sharing tab and see if that makes a difference. Remember to explicitly add the Administrators group on the Security tab along with any others you want to grant access to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
