I am trying to customize my page and get too the core files of the server to change the default picture on the Webshare Phote page etc. I type in \\HPSERVERNAME\C$ The system starts to open the file then gives me a popup asking for UserName and Password. I tried everything I can think of. What do I type there? I tried my computer name and password (account and desktop name and password are the same) I tried my computer name and server password I tried my server name and password (account and desktop name and password are the same) I tried my server name and server password Please help....I can not customize my computer when I can't get too the core files of the server. Also i have not seen the Server Desktop yet... at least I dont think I have. The Server Desktop should have a start button on the bottom left etc. shouldn't it?

The error \\servername\sharename is not accessible. You might not have permissions to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions . I can access the shares without issue from my Vista machines. My user account and password are not identical on all of my machines but the Vista machines do not seem to have a problem regardless of the username. The passwords, regardless of the username, are all the same on these machines. The XP machine can only access the Music and the root of the Users shares (but not any of the actual user directories) on WHS. Before you go down the road of make the usernames the same... I have now changed them all to be idenitcal to no avail. Anybody have any ideas?

I install the software from the CD. I create a useraccount for this computer with the same login-name as the computer's, and I give it the same password as it has when loggin in to the computer, and, yes, it is a strong password with several uppecase, lowercase and other "strange" characters. BUT it still says that the passwords do not match! The only difference I can think of is that I have set this particular computer not to have remot access, but I thought that this only means that you cannot log in to the server when you are "outside", via Internet??? When trying to syncronize the passwords it says that I have given the wrong password for the server. I have then tried to erase the account on the server, re-created the account, changed the password for this account several times, and on the computer as well... Any ideas?

I can map to any of the folders but not the root. The login name and password for my computer is exactley the same as for the server. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I get the following error. "Your current security settings do not allow for this file to be downloaded". Thanks Update - OK to get around this in the meantime. I downloaded the files I needed (installing sharepoint) and then moved them over to a folder I create in the C: root. When I try to run the exe I get this error message. "Windows can not access the specified device,path, or file.You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item". What do I need to do to correct this?

I have had my server for 1 week now. When I first set it up and add user accounts based on the log in names we had on the PC's. For example Dad, Mom, Son, and everything worked fine. I was able to get to the webshare and the server from outside. Since then, we have changed the account names on the PC's to now be our first names (why I don't now. lol). They have been changed on all the PC's. I went to the webshare options and updated the manager listed based on the new account names that we also added to the server and removed the old ones. Now I can not get logged into the webshare. I get invalid id or password. The only way I can get logged in is if i use one of the visitor accounts. Any ideas? I saw something here about the sql database that webshare uses, not being updated. But I can not find anything to tell me how to manually hack that db, although, I shoud not have to.

I manage a MS Windows server farm with 400+ WinTel servers and oversee a staff of 5 server engineers. I have 30+ years of experience in the IT industry. And yet I can't seem to get access working for anyone other than myself to my Webshare website. It works fine for me, but not for any of the various other WHS accounts I have created. Whenever I test logging in with those accounts to my WHS system (an HP Ex475), I get a response of "An invalid username or password was provided. Please try again." Any guidance wout be greatly appreciated!

If you share, does it cause problems or confusion?
