The shared folder has proper permissions set for everyone and guest and I've even tried matching up user accounts between the two machines (though it shouldn't matter with passwords off anyways) and no luck. It seems odd that the public folders work but nothing else will.
Both machines behave in this way when trying to access shared folders on the other. Also, they are running NIS.
