Setting Up Network Shares

[CodedGrey]

K I think I'm the one holding this back, as I just don't know what I'm doing, and its turned into one of those lets try this and see if it works situations. Anyways, I have the machines at the house under one workgroup, and I can access the shares when I leave it wide open to everyone. But I don't know what to put for the permissions, or is this even the right path? Ive done quiet a bit of googling, but still am lost. Any help would be great.

For windows...if you can, turn of simple file sharing (tools, folder options).

On the folder properties, sharing tab, you should set "Everyone" to "full control". Then lock down who sees/reads/writes to what using the security tab.
