since networking my 2 computers, (simple peer to peer with a crossover cable) i have had problems sharing files. i have set up a few different shares and can get files across the network, but:

1) i had to add full access for "everyone" in order to do it, and
2) new files i put in the share folders can't be accessed until i go into the security settings, check "replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects", and say OK to the resulting dialog. so i have to do this every single time i drag a file into a shared folder, or i get 'access denied' when i try something from the other computer.

as far as 1 - it seems less than ideal from a security standpoint, although in my case it's not very important since it's just me. but i'd feel better about being on the net, even though i've got software firewall running that's hopefully keeping the nasties off the gateway and therefore off the client comp too. i haven't found any options for adding users of OTHER computers in the security settings, just for the computer i'm on at the time. hence needing to use "Everyone"

as far as 2 - i must be doing something else wrong, this isn't how it's supposed to work~!

helps??

thx
