Ok. I'm kind of a newbie when dealing with networking, but I'm having trouble sharing files through LAN. I understand that you have to set permissions, but I'm not sure how... I'm getting errors such as..."network path could not be found" and sometimes after fooling with it, I get an error saying "the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer" When friends come over, there are no problems at all. The problem comes when trying to share files with other computers in the house. I cant figure it out. It would be appreciated tremendously if anyone could help. Thanks. Hey, how it going?

many more dfetails are needed. OS on all pc's, wireless versus cable, topology, etc

WindowsNetworking.com 98% of the population is asleep. The other 2% are staring around in complete amazement, abject terror, or both.

The OS on both computers is Windows xp Pro,and we're using cable modem that goes to a router. Hey, how it going?

Still not enough info. Wireless router, wired router? IP addresses? How are the shares set up? Firewalls?

I think I get your config. Sounds line you may have internet but can't share files between pcs. usual case if the xp firewall. for test purposes turn it off [diabled]. if you still can't connect make sure you logon to both pcs with the same account name [spelled the same] and password. if still no go disable simple file sharing [explorer/options] and on the share click 'everyone' and give all rights. after that we would need specifics :-) to solve the issue. Golly gee wilerkers everyone! Learn to Internet Search

Well, we are running through a wired router, and we have tryed everything, that you just listed. What kind of specifics do you need here? Hey, how it going?
