Windows XP File Sharing Not Accessible

[ehsu]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this board and hopefully this is the right place to seek advice.

I used to be able to share my folders and documents on my home network. Ever since I upgarded my Access Connection version to v4.11a (I think, could be other unknown reasons as well), other nodes on my network can still display my shared folders, but cannot access into my shared folders anymore. I can still access others' shared folders on the network.

I tried both simple file sharing mode and advance file sharing mode to manually allow access, both didn't work.

I am not using any firewall except Windows default firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank you and appreciate your help. :happy:

is any kind of message popping up? for example "You do not have permissions to acess this shared" or asking for a login?

Try running the Network wizard again and see if this helps.

Yup, it is the message that poped up: "You don't have the permission to access this shared folder."

Thanks Wizard, I tried running the Network Setup Wizard and it helped! That's kinda odd cuz I thought I have tried that already but nevertheless, I gave it a shot and it worked. :)

Thank you all.
