Shared folder issue

    Strange problem.


    I have a crossover cable which i use to share a folder on a laptop to a desktop. This worked fine. Could see the folder and copy files to and from the shared folder.

    Then i decided that I'd have a desktop and laptop connected to a linksys wag54. So i copied in a few more files on the lappy to its shared folder so that i could copy them over to the desktop but i've encountered a strange (for me) problem. The older files in the laptops shared folder have no problem being copied over to the desktop but these new files refuse and give me an access denied error: Make sure the disk is not full or the file in use.

    Don't really understand why? Can anybody help, tell me i'm overlooking something obvious or i'd doing something really retarded

    Rerun the Network setup wizard and join the network on both PC's. It's a permissions issue - it plagued me for ages on my home network too! :(

    Damn windows...

    I might be getting the wrong end of the stick here but perhaps
    you need to tick "allow users to modify my files",
    and thus allow writing to the folder as opposed to just access (ie, Copy).
