Shares not working on Win7 Pro P2P server

by hafox . Updated 15 years, 7 months ago

I’ve had a P2P Win7 Pro “server” running on our small (5 PC) office network for many months now. I recently added a large external drive to allow user backups of hard drives and/or files. I created folders with each user’s login name below a “Backup” folder. I set share permissions to each folder for the appropriate user with full control of that folder.

Navigating through the “Network” folder on my Windows 7 laptop and can see the list of shared folders including my own. Unfortunately, if I try to open the folder, I’m presented with a “permissions” error and not allowed to view the contents.

What basic but crucial step am I missing in setting up those folders?
