>>I'm on my laptop. I went to the PC and set some folders to be Shared. Came back to the laptop and they are now available in my network, but it says that I do not have permissions to open them. Which needs to be rebooted, the laptop, the PC, or both? I assume that's the issue. Thanks!

XP Pro on both. The server is JayServer and the laptop is JayWS. I have other folder that work just fine, but I can't recall if I rebooted when I set them or not. I'm planning on rebooting the PC and then the laptop if that doesn't work, but I just wanted to know the why and stuff. I hate to reboot any of them if I don't have to; the PC is slow to come alive and the laptop has bunches of stuff running that I have to reopen. Did not use any wizard, just went to the folders under the Administrator and changed the Sharing and Security settings.
