    i having a hard time getting the permissions right
    i have a W7 comp with a RocketRAID controller and 4 500GB HD's in a RAID 5 array
    i told it to share in the properties
    i made sure that its on the same workgroup
    and that the group everyone has full control permissions
    what am i missing?
    thanks for any help

    I find that windows does not like to share the root of the drive. Make a directory and share that, and put everything in sub directories of that share for organization.

    This. On my NAS I have a single folder in the root called "Media" and then just a metric **** ton of subfolders for it.

    I had to add anonymous logon with full control to get my share working at home. None of the pc's at home have passwords which caused my problems. ***This was on the root of the drive***

    there is a good reason for not sharing the root of the drive.

    you can turn off password protected file sharing in the advanced sharing settings on network and sharing center
