I have a PC (named PC1 running win xp with sp2 and various tweaks) that doesnt permit other computers to copy files from it. Operators from other PCs (PC2 - win xp sp2 with antivirus installed, PC3 -win xp sp2 stock,and PC4 -win2k sp4) can delete and transfer files to PC1 but when a file from PC1 is 'dragged to the desktop of the other machine by its operator, a dialog appears ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cannot copy file:Access is denied Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PC1 can copy, transfer and delete files on the other machines no problem. PC2, PC3, PC4 have no problem with each other. A new share on PC1 has the same behavior as the preexisting shares-the operator of PC2(or PC3 or PC4 for that mattter) can push files to it, delete files in it, but NOT copy files from it - the same behavior is exhibited if i create a new folder on PC1 with wide open permissions (full control) for everyone, guests, administrators and set security wide open as well - full control for everyone. also, if the operator of PC2 tries to copy a file from PC1 into a folder on PC2 where the file already exists(drag a file to PC2)-interesting behavior occurs- a dialog pops up asking if i want to replace the file- i click yes- a progress bar appears indicating the copy process and at the end of that-the dreaded file access denied error dialog appears. the preexisting file on PC2 now has disappearred. this problem only appears to the operator of PC2. the operator on PC1 has full control. In short, PC1 will only let macs copy files from it! A pc with a mac infatuation? How can I fix this?! I ran the network setup wizard on the other healthy pcs and then executed the netsetup app on PC1 with the floppy i generated on pc2. Still, no improvement. Help?!
