Thanks for the response Kent! I was about to go crazy
looking for that local security policy. I have checked
the logon profiles and have disabled the guest account.
File and Print sharing have been properly activated, as
far as I can tell (there is a check in the box), and no
firewalls are active. I haven't checked All users/Shared
Folder for permissions (which I will today), but what
could be wrong with the guest account that wouldn't let
me share the folder? Again thanks for the response.
