Guest * Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I have 3 computers connected via a D-link router. I seem to have a problem sharing files with one of the computers. I get "\\Basement\My Documents" is not accessible. I am able to share from the "Basement" computer with the others (upstairs), but not from the others to the basement. I've tried resetting permissions etc nothing. Can someone direct me to what to look for? Thank you IF

Guest * Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Re: Home Network Problems - sharing files I checked the firewalls. Everything is ok. I even tried copying the permissions from the Administrator. Still nothing. My last resort is to reinstall Windows from scratch.

"My Documents" folder is usually a special case. See here: "Sharing folders in My Documents" <http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/09mydocuments.htm> HTH, John
Guest Richard Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Re: Home Network Problems - sharing files I have a similar problem. I have a home network setup and all the computers on my network share the same workgroup name. I have XP pro running on this computer. I have XP Home running on two others, one a desktop, the other a laptop. I have Vista Home Premium running on one of the laptops. From the main computer [this one] I can see all the computers on the network, and so can I see them all from every other computer. From this computer I can drop files into all the other shared folders in the workgroup, but none of the other computers can even look at the folders on this computer. When they try they get the error code 0x80070005. I use Norton 360 on this computer, and even when I set up each computer with specific permissions based on IP address in Norton the problem is still there. Each other computer uses Norton 360 too but I have not had to set any permissions on those at all. I have the windows firewall off, and even with Norton's firewall turned off it makes no difference. What can I do to sort this out? It has only started happening fairly recently I think because at one time I could freely view this computer from anywhere on the network.

Error 0x80070005 is a permissions error. On an XP Home machine, all incoming network connections are handled under the Guest Account. On an XP Pro machine, this isn't necessarily the case. If your XP Pro machine is part of a domain at work, then the domain policies can be changed by your IT department to make it more difficult to connect. When I have problems, I usually connect manually from the command prompt: Start->Run->cmd net use * \\computername\sharename /user:computername\username then provide a password if prompted. You might also try the approaches here: "Code Error 80070005 - Access Denied" <http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/Logon/code/code_80070005.htm> HTH, John

Guest Mariano Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Re: Home Network Problems - sharing files Yeah there's the error code 0x80070005 Access denied... I changed the firewall settings, turned it off... change the users names, create a new one... checked that the permissions for the user where ok... I did everything but nothing solved that problem... I used my laptop at my office and it works ok, and I have the same network setting there... (workgroup name, network name, users names, etc...) I'm kinda desperate 'cause I have tons of software in my computer and it'd take me a week to format and star again from cero... Any idea? please? HELP!!! ;) Mariano.
