Access Denied when using an UNC address
-
I get "Access Denied!" message, when i want to make a file using a UNC address "\\mobiledls2\c-hard\", although i have shared the drive with full access, I use windows XP SP2 and i also installed NetBEUI protocol.

If your in workgroup mode, each machine maintains its own list of accounts and no machine trusts anothers list. So, the account that you're logged in as on your machine doesn't have any rights to the share on the remote machine. You said you gave the share full access, but to what accounts... And you can uninstall NetBEUI - you don't need it.

Dear Dave, Thanks for your response. I did find my problem, and i want to ask if you know the reason. I had shared the drive but it was a "default share", that i don't know wht it is. One of my co-workers propesed to set "Don't share this folder" ,and then make a new share. and the problem was solved! But we do not know the reason. I would be greatful if you could send me the reason :-)

On Windows 2000, the default Share permissions are for Everyone (authenticated or not) to have Full Control, Change, and Read. This allows anyone connecting through the share access to the files behind it. But, this is just the front door. NTFS permissions take effect after you get through the share "door".

A default share on a disk is an administrative share. Only administrators can use them. Windows has a number of administrative share. For example a c partition is shared as \\<server>\c$, and the window directory is shared as \\<server>\admin$. The $ behinds the share means the share is hidden (not visible in explorer). -- modified at 5:27 Saturday 24th February, 2007
