What Operating System are you running? If it is XP are you sure that you have it share correctly. To share a Folder under XP Pro you need to right click on the folder you wish to share. Select Sharing and security, now select the option to share this folder. Put in a descriptive name for the share and make sure there is not $ sign in the name cause this would cause the folder to be hidden and only accessed by \\computername\foldername$. Now select permissions and give everyone full access. The reason were giving everyone full access share permissions is because XP or 2000 or 2003 always selects the least permission for any user accessing that share. So if you gave everyone share permissions of only read, no matter what there NTFS permissions are they will only have read. So we give everyone full access, now we select the security tab and select the users you want to access the share, by using NTFS permissions to handle the share you have much more control. If all of this is done correctly you should have no problems accessing that share from any computer in your domain. As long as they have permissions to do so. Now if you have Windows 98 you have to install file and print sharing, then give permissions on the share, but you can't assign NTFS permissions because Win 98 does not support that file system.
I hope that could help.
