Hi, and this is, strictly speaking, not an access issue, so replies off-list are welcome if that's felt more appropriate. Basically, I'm networking two PCs running XP Pro (service pack 2, with updates)via a Netgear router-adsl modem. I'm running up against not being able to send files across the network, but I can read the folders I've decided to share. This is a complex issue as it involves admin rights and, under XP Pro, standard file sharing allowing of more flexibility and security, not to mention NTFS issues. What I'm after are pointers to internet resources such as step-by step guides and maybe some useful utilities for trouble shooting or helping out. AS I say, if the mods or anyone feels this is better discussed off-list, then that's fine. Contact me at the below email link. Cheers, From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx
