The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Shared Folder will not allow access on workgroup

Asked by Gawan in Internet File Sharing Software

Tags: access, workgroup, folder, shared, allow

Greetings,

I am on a workgroup. I have 8 office computers. 1 is Vista. 1 is XP Home, and 6 are XP Pro. I am using share permissions. I have read for a week searching the net to find the answer as to why the Vista PC, my 2nd XP Pro PC but not the other PCs cannot access the share folder on my Pseudo Server PC (Computer 1 w/XP Pro). I have 8 user accounts and passwords on Computer 1. I have matched a different account name on Computer 1.
Ex: Computer 1 is (Admin) and Computer 2 is (NY). Computer 1 has account Admin and Ny with passwords. I have set permissions in every possible combination so that there is full control, and still no access to the share folder. If I switch to simple file share, all is well. The Vista computer works with Shared Folder Permissions, my 2nd XP Pro PC that's on a switch with the Computer 1, works with Shared Folder Permissions, but not the others. I have tried everything and the only thing that I think it can be is a registry problem. I can see the Shared Folder on other PCs, but when I try to access the folder it states I do not have permission. All firewalls are turned off. I can get a nice ping, but no access to the share folder.
I do not want to use simple file share. Most of what I have read seems straight forward but reading about the other similar problems with file share it still comes back to the registry. I am open to suggestions.
