I have a mostly new install of Windows 2003 Standard Edition SP2, and I'm trying to share a folder on the network. The instructions here, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324267, describe the steps I took to share the folder. It's pretty simple.

  • Go into the folder properties and enable sharing.
  • Make sure the correct users and groups are given permission to access the folder.
  • I also unchecked "Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" so I could fine tune the permissions.

Unfortunately I cannot access the share over the network. It simply says, "Windows cannot find '\192.168.1.10'. Check the spelling and try again... etc."

When I try to access the share (\192.168.1.10) from the 2k3 server itself, no contents are displayed. However, when I access \127.0.0.1 everything shows up normally.

What have I done? Is there a setting somewhere that defines which address the file sharing will use to listen and is it set to localhost?

Thanks!

If you have Access Based Enumeration that could do it with a weird mix of permissions. Try turning ABE off and see if that resolves it, if it is on.

  • It was actually much simpler than that... Thanks for the response though! :)

It turns out to be a very simple solution. I did not bind the "File and Printer Sharing" to the network interface...

Embarrassing, yes.
