I've got a simple peer-to-peer network with two desktops and a laptop, all running Windows XP Professional with SP2. Everyone in my family has their own user name and password, which is the same username and password on each machine. That way they can log into any machine and access things like the printer, which is only on one of the desktops. One of the desktops has a big hard drive, so I created a folder on it and shared it all. Everyone used to be able to access the shared folder quite easily from any of the three computers, but now no one can. Put specifically, everyone seems to have read access, but no one has the ability to write to it from any other computer other than the desktop that shares it out. Not even my wife and I, who I have put into the Administrators groups on all three machines, can access the shared folder on the desktop that is sharing it out, unless we're logged into that desktop. Why is it this way now? What has changed so that no one can write anything to that folder from any other machine other than the one the share is on? Rod
