I'm working with a small office network with two XP Dell desktop machines and 1 Win98 laptop. One of the desktops has a Quickbooks company database that's shared with the other 2 computers. Several months ago, I setup a share on the Intuit folder called qbdata. Now I find out that someone has created a new share down one folder level on the Quickbooks folder called "Quickbooks Data" that the other XP desktop machine is using to access the database.
The laptop machine can't even see that share when I browse that XP machine in Network Neighborhood. That new share is also not listed when I do a NET VIEW \\computername at the command prompt of the Win98 laptop. Is it because Windows 98 can only see 8 character share names?
Also, if either the XP or 98 machine tries to look at the old qbdata share, it gets a "Access Denied" error. I've tried it with the Administrator user name and password, so it not just for some users.
