I'm trying to set up a small network that has limited sharing between my computer and laptop. You see I'm on the school network lan, & would like my computer and laptop only viewable & shared between themselves. I turned off simple file sharing, and added my laptop administrator username ass a user on my computer and did the same for my comp admin username on my laptop. I then set my drive sharing permissions to be limited to my laptop & computer account. Now with these settings, I get the error "<source drive> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource... Access Denied" whenever I try to access my drives on the network.
I tried nearly everything and the only thing that works is setting sharing permissions to EVERYONE. The problem I believe is that my laptop user account name is not associated to my laptop, and rather is associated as simply a username on my computer, and vice versa with my computer username on my laptop. I would like add my laptop as a LOCATION on my computer and associate my laptop username with the laptop LOCATION as well as add my computer as a location on my laptop. Now I have NO idea how to do this. Can anyone give me some direction?
Thanks!
