Permission denial on network drive folder w/ full control for everyone
My goal is to setup my current computer and an older laptop to run together over a home network (specifically, to run flight simulator x steam edition on my newer "host" and use the older "client" to run certain add-ons). I've troubleshot my way through a load of problems and it's finally boiled down to this problem I can't seem to resolve.
Here’s as much info as I can think to share about the setup:
• Both host and client are connected by ethernet cables to a router, so no wireless issues as I have read wireless can cause problems for the applications I'm using.
• Both computers are running updated windows 10 os.
• My firewall is disabled on both computers for private networks (which includes my home network).
• The hard drives are all shared between them with full control for each shared device for "Everyone".
• UAC is turned off on both.
Each computer has a C and D drive, with system files on the C drive of each. I don't seem to have a problem navigating or accessing folders or files on either D drive from the remote computer, but I do have a problem accessing certain folders on the C drive of each. Specifically, the application I'm running needs read/write abilities in c:\user\myusername\documents and c:\user\myusername\appdata\roaming\microsoft\fsx. The problem is that for either computer I cannot get past the myusername (for my host it's "Admon", for the client it's "Andrew", not that it matters). I get the "Windows cannot access \\... You do not have permission to access..."
Each computer's drive has their respective root c and d drives shared for "everyone" with full control. I've also checked the security tabs to ensure everyone is listed with full control.
I'm at a loss of what to do next. Every troubleshooter I've found online has gotten me to this point but I still cannot access the user's folders (the users are both admins on their respective platforms).
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to share their insights or ask questions.
