right but I suggested putting in a share name because it's not working as expected with what you describe below. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sean M McMahon" <smcmahon@xxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 1:14 PM Subject: Re: Setting up home network with Jaws You type nothing for share name and you do not type anything for giving rights to specific users. You share your drive with all users. Win98 doesn't have the ability to really seperate users like xp pro, NT4 or unix based systems do. You have user profiles for limited things like the desktop size but you can't control who has access to what programs and what kinds of operations.

I discovered that there are two menu choices under the context menu is it, the one that comes up with SHIFT F10. One is called shared the other is a shared tab under Properties but they are both the same thing. I select Shared As, tab on to share name, an edit field, then tab on to comment, another edit field then on to something called Name Access rights extended select list box. There is nothing in this list box and it is not an edit box. The next tab is Add... button. Hitting on that tells me "You cannot view the list of users at this time. Pleas try again later." and an OK button. It is very much not OK but there is no choice. Except for hitting on the cancel button I am told that I have selected to chare but have not named anyone to share with and no matter what I do I go back to that select list box and another notice that I cannot see the list of users at this time and that I should try again later. So far as I can tell this is an endless loop. Nevertheless, thanks to you and Gerry, I had not thought to look for those menus there even though they are proving to be useless.

I have recently acquired a notebook computer and a wireless router to an ADSL modem, my desktop is direct wired, my laptop wirelessly connected, my desktop running Windows 98 can see my notebook running XP Pro and my notebook can see but not access the Windows 98 desktop. The message is that I don't have permission and should contact the network administrator and the path cannot be found. So, back to the Windows 98 machine, I cannot see where I give that permission. In the Network settings I can see file and printer sharing enabled and have specified which machine but don't see where or how or why I can specify a user for that access. I know some of you have done this stuff before and may be able to help. I think this is a Jaws access issue but I realize it is also a Windows "less than obvious" issue which may have more to do with my limited expertise than Jaws. Help off list may therefore be more appropriate. Thanks.
