Re: Cannot share a drive for some reason
Click Start > type "services.msc" (without the quotes), check to see if the Server service is disabled or not started. Enable if disabled and set to automatic, click Start.
As a final test, create an admin user on your main machine with a password.
From one of the other machines open a dos prompt and type the following:
net use * \\MainmachineName\ShareName /User:Mainmachinename\Newadminuser /Password:*
Try the IP address of the main pc as well, alternatively use the Map Network Drive function in Explorer.
If that does not connect then you either have a firewall issue, a network issue or something other than permissions, is there a way you can copy the contents of the drive to another place, and then format it fresh and try again.
