[dba-Tech] Sharing a printer on a Wireless Network

When you're sharing folders and drives in 2k or XP, you have Share
Permissions, which dictate who can "see" the share, and Security Permissions
which dictate what you can do to the share. You should check both of these
to make sure that the user you log on as on YOUR pc has permission to see
and use Marsha's shares.

Irwin:

Done.  Actually using Workgroup - the default.  When I go to network
places --> Entire Network --> Microsoft Windows Network --> Workgroup on my
computer \\Marsha shows up.  So I think I'm 'seeing' her machine.  When I
click on the machine however I get that message that says I don't have
permission for this network resource.  I do have her C: drive sharable.
>From her machine I can see the whole network and I can pull things from the
other machines to her machine and push things from hers onto the other
machines.

Any ideas?

TIA

Rocky
