access denied error message

Postby -Dman100- » Mon Oct 27, 2003 11:29 pm

I have a home network with three PC's running Win2000 Professional using a linksys router. Everything is setup correctly and I can access each PC through the network.

The problem is with one PC and accessing a folder within the shared c: drive. I try to access the local user's folder \\PCName\C_Drive\Documents and Settings\UserName\ from the c: drive and I get an "access denied" error message. With the whole c: drive shared, I don't know why any folder would return an access denied error message within the root of the drive. I can access other folders of the drive. I tried sharing the user's folder, but I still get an "Access Denied" error message. Anyone know what is causing this and how to correct it? Thanks in advance.

Make the user attempting to access the folder an administrator on the box that has the folder.
