I seem to have a problem on the computer that's acting as the "server". I have it set up so that all personal files are supposed to be saved on this drive.
I go to the properties of the shared folder, and it's set as read-only.
I uncheck the box, select the option to apply the same setting to all sub folders, click apply, then OK.
The only problem is that it dosn't take. I can go back to properties, and read only is checked again, even though I had just reset it.
All 5 computers are up to date on MS updates, Anti-Virus doesn't seem to be effecting the sharing.
Any thoughts?

Dont forget you need to activate printer and file sharing on all the computers and then you actually have to share the folder not just unmark the read only tag.
Also it would make it alot easier if you make sure all the computers are on the same network by giving them a common workgroup name.

If your folder is under "Documents and Settings" folder, I don't think you can share the sub folder unless you share the root folder. I personally don't have my files there, I put everything in a "My Documents" folder outside of the "Document and Settings", and share it there with no problem. I think Win XP looks at "Documents and Settings" as a system folder.

Vista has the capacity to setup an 'ad hoc community'. press F1 and search for for ad hoc networking. in certain circumstances having the most excellent terminology can help you paintings it out using google too. i do not study doing this over Ethernet. it must be conceivable, yet you're able to purchase a instant card on your 2d pc (or borrow someone's' exterior USB adapter). sturdy success.
