Home Networking: Changing folder permissions on a network storage disk
LockedMy home network is a desktop running XP Home, and a notebook running Vista Home. The are networked by a linksys router which also has a D-LINK network storage enclosure attached. I’ve have this setup for almost a year and it was working fine. Recently however, I changed my username and password using D-LINKs admin site and suddenly things went haywire in terms of accessibility. I have solved all issues but one. One subfolder on this network drive – ironically the most important one – is giving me an access denied message when I try to access it from either computer. When I right-click and check Properties>Security it shows “Nobody” for permissions/access groups. There are no other options and I can’t change it from here anyway. I would like to understand how to change permissions on folders in this drive from my any of my machines. What have I changed that no longer allows me access. Thanks to anyone who can help as this is a timely business issue.
