Thanks Martin, I'll try the newtork test when I get home, but regarding the write permissions, I've had a Bobin's moment :p (no disrepect to Bobin's). I guess the share does not have WRITE access, as "Simple File Sharing" defaults to only read access?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess I was confused by a previous post and subsequent discussions into thinking I "should" have "Simple File Sharing" enabled? At work with XP Pro this is not enabled and I can change the share permissions, which I do quite often. With "Simple File Sharing" disabled (Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View) I can add "full control to the dir", rather than just read, which I believe will now work ...
2 Q's
1. If I do this and then re-enable "Simple File Sharing" will it still work (I guess I could try that out).
2. I have XP Pro, but this site says "Simple File Sharing is the only type of sharing available in Windows XP Home Edition". If this is indeed true, how do those with Windows XP Home change write permissions on shares?
