    I finally got my new laptop and was able to network it to my current PC but I seemed to have run into a problem. I am able to see files on my laptop from my PC but I am unable to save files to the drive. I have shared the folders I am trying to save to and have given full permission to everyone on the network but I still cannot seem to save the files to the laptop from my PC. I am using Vista.

    Any ideas or suggestions for resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Kim

    I'm not sure about Vista. Have you tried checking Windows Help section?

    Yes, no luck in the help section although I think I may have figured it out, it seems to be working now. I am in the process of transferring all my files to my laptop as if I am out of the office I will need the files and if I am at home I can access through the network. I have set up the folders on the laptop to share the files, and have given full access to the users. The missing key which I think I just figured out because it seems to be working now is that the folder needs to be shared as a co-owner of the material. I changed it to co-owner and I am write to the files now, so I guess that was it.

    Thanks,
    Kim
