Answer» Hello FOLKS,
I am doing IT at an office and they have an XP machine as a server and 2 laptops which map an S: drive to the DATA folder on the server. Read/write no problem. They LOG in with \\computer\user and synch the passwords on the client and server.
New LAPTOP, I log in as \\computer\user with a PASSWORD that I matched with the user on the server. That same username from other computers can write to the S: drive, but it can only read from this new laptop.
Is there some setting specific to computers and not usernames? This is a strange problem. Thanks much!Check the share and file-level permissions at the XP "server" end. What error message do you see when trying to change a file? Have you isolated one file and confirmed that you can change it from one laptop but not from the new one? A METHODICAL approach will definitely help to nail down the problem.
