Create an account on the NTFS computer with the same username/password that is being used on the FAT32 computers.
You have to have NTFS permissions set for those trying to connect to the share
That too... as well as share permissions.
thanks for all replies.
How do i set ntfs permissions for those wanting to connect to the computer?
also do i really have to create accounts for all who want to log on to that machine?
Thanks

Right-click on the folder and choose the security tab. There you can set the permissions.
Yes, you must create user accounts for every person that needs access to the NTFS volume and the passwords must match (to avoid getting a login request box). Domain controllers function as a password synchronizer to avoid this problem. If you don't have a domain controller (Win2000, 2003, or NT4 server) then you have to create accounts on that local workstation for every user.
