    cannot share drive between 2 win7 cpu's [solved]


    this is the deal
    in my main computer, lets call it computer #1, I want to share 'e' folder.
    I go to properties>sharing>first 'share' button is grayed out, so I select 'advanced sharing' CHECK 'share this folder'> permissions>everyone>CHECK 'full control'.

    On computer #2, (which is the computer I want to be able to access 'e' folder from), I go to 'map network drive' > there I CAN see #1 computer name>expand> select 'e' folder>get this error:
    "Network error
    Windows cannot access \\Roysd-pc\e
    You do not have permissions to access \\Roysd-pc\e. contact your network administrator to request access"
    What am I doing wrong?
    P.s
    1. #2 is connected to #1 via wifi
    2. I selected a homegroup password in #1 and entered it in #2 with no problems.

    I've had some odd sharing issues with a handful of Win7 machines. Sharing would work 1 way (usually the wrong way, ie. A sees B and I want B to see A) or no way.
    One easy fix is to add the same Login and Password to the machines.

    sorry Zepher but the other cpu is not mine. it has it's own username+pass.
    and the normal/original/correct way to fix this is?

    ok I found a solution on another thread (it worked for me).
    This is it:
    Sharing C Drive between 2 Win7 PC's
    Just go to the bottom of the page to tmarte's reply...

    are you a limited user on any comp? what about ownership? i tried to re-create your problem on my network but could not. virus maybe?

    lol, that was my next thought.
