A folder on the network will not allow access to the files. Yet only this folder is doing this, all the other folders from this system are acting normally. What is the problem and how do I fix it?

I think the problem was caused by the zip drive when a backup was created for a hard drive upgrade. All files that were saved to the zip drive and then retsored on the new hard drive are not accessable on the network.

Sometimes when files are saved to removable media and then copied back on to a harddrive, the attributes get changed. Make sure the files are not marked as system files. Also, the "sharing won't have copied back and forth with the files, so you need to check that everything is still shared and permissioned correctly.
