>>>>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!

>>Actually I just rebooted both and it's not letting me into them. This server/workstation stuff is really annoying sometimes. I made the entire C drive sharable as an Administrator, but of course I still have to share individual folder underneath that. And it seems to only work 75% of the time. I believe I'm doing the same thing as I did last time for other folders. Does it matter that these are under another user on the PC who is not an administrator? Even though I set them to share while logged-in as an administrator?

I'm doing all the sharing and permission while logged onto the PC (JayServer). The only thing I'm doing from the laptop is trying to get access to the folders.
