Sharing Problems
I have a PC that is supposed to have two shared drives in it.
The first drive, everything went fine. I went in to sharing, shared the drive, ensured that Everyone had full rights, and it all works just great. The problem came with the second drive. At first it all worked fine, but then I renamed the drive and then the old name appeared on the network as well as the new drive name. The new name there was no write access to the drive, but the old name worked just fine. In an attempt to get rid of the two names, I switched sharing off for that drive. Checked everything and found that I hadn't changed the sharing name. I sorted that out and shared the drive again. Good news was now there was only one copy of the drive visible on the network. Bad news is I still have no write access to the drive.
Thinking that it would be best to start again, I disabled sharing, renamed both drives, and you know what's coming next, now I have no write access to either drive.
Does anyone know how to resolve this? It's driving me mad.
