An unusual problem for all those Windows networking gurus out there. This one is
driving me around the bend!
I have successfully linked my Windows 2000 laptop to my home peer-to-peer network,
running a mixture of 2000, 98 and 95 machines. The logon on the laptop is valid
and I can view the connection through the Computer Management facility in Control
Panel. All is working fine EXCEPT one thing. I can view and access all the files
on the laptop except those in the My Documents folder, which, of course, are those
to which I really want access in order to synchronise them with my desktop. Although
the files are visible in Windows Explorer, any attempt to read from or write to the
folder results in an error message telling me that I don’t have the required permissions.
I have checked and re-checked the permissions without any luck. Given that I can
connect to the machine in the first place and read other files, I suspect that this
isn’t something that is protocol or workgroup related but perhaps something in 2000
that I have missed. It is doubly frustrating because I can access the equivalent
files on the other 2000 machine on the network without any problem.
Any ideas would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
