We have a box running Windows Server 2003.

We are trying to set up some simple file sharing with other PCs running XP Pro.

Basically, we want to share the My Docs folder on 2003 so we can get to it from XP.

Not having any luck.

We can see the folder in the My Network Places but if we click on it we get

\\Bravo\my documents is not accessible. You might not have persmission to access this netwro resource, etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Have you checked both the permissions on the Sharing tab AND on the Security tab?
