Here's my predicament... I have a system running Vista Business I am using as a file/print server for my home network. I just installed Vista, I used to be running Server 2008 (got tired of typing in the password all the time...). I'm pretty sure I had this same issue in Server 2008, though I got tired of it and uninstalled it before I looked into it. But I have 2 desktops and a laptop that need to be able to connect to the server, and they all find it fine on the network, and it even goes into the public shared folders and connects to the printer fine (have yet to test print, but it connected and installed). And my desktop will connect fine with the server via Remote Desktop. But I have a second set of drives on the server setup in hardware RAID1 that I want to share for my file sharing and backup purposes. It was always working fine with Windows XP awhile back and Server 2008 more recently using this setup (until yesterday with Server 2008). Now I try to connect to the shared folder on Server and it tells me I don't have permission... I've set and reset the permissions that I have known to work before and it's not working. I even tried setting up a share on the C drive of Server and it still doesn't want to connect with that. Being that it happened on both OSes would lead me to believe a problem with my desktop, but my other desktop is doing the exact same thing... I haven't touched any settings with my router before it stopped working. I can connect to shared folders on my desktop from the server.
Picture to show you what's going on (Right click>view image to see full size). Using remote desktop on my desktop to connect to server. On the server I have a shared folder open from my desktop. You can see I have the permissions set to full control (which is all I ever had to do before to my knowledge). Yet go over to my desktop and you can see the message that says I do no have permission...
