Workgroup question - shared folder

[Guest JohnB]

I have as a client a small company that is setup with Windows for

Workgroups. The other day they added a new PC on their own. In the past

they always used, as the local username, first initial and last name. This

time though, they used firstname and lastname, with a space in between.

 

I need to setup a user folder on the server (W2K Server) for them. I add

the user, add the folder, and setup the permissions for the folder. From

the PC they can see the folder but not get into it.

 

On the folder share, Everyone has Full permissions. On the specific user

folder, only the new user account and the local admin accounts have

permissions (Full).

 

I am guessing that the space in the username on the PC is the problem so, I

create another local account on the server with firstname and lastname, with

the space in the middle - just like on the PC. Same problem, still can't

open the user folder.

 

What's the deal? This should be simple.

 

Thanks.
