I can see the shared drive on the Server ,but when I attempt to open any
folder or file get response: Access Denied.

Could anyone advise what to adjust on the Win 2003 Server?

Thanks,

Anthony,

You don't provide a lot of details, so I'll have to guess at the problem.

The "access denied" error could be caused by either a misconfigured /
misbehaving firewall, a browser conflict, or actual lack of permissions on the
server.

Is this a domain or workgroup?  Do you have just one client computer with this
problem, or more than one?  Do you have just one user, or multiple users, with
this problem?  Can any users, from any computers, access this server?

Sorry about not supplying enough
detail...
1) Lack of permissions on the server appears to be the problem
2) It should be a domain, but do not know how to make it the correct one,
(know the name, but don't know how to direct it to it)
3) Only client that has this problem is the new one I am attempting to
install onto the Win 2003 Server LAN
4) Other existing multiple users have no problem accessing the server and
shared drive.

Think;
a) It appears that I need to set-up the new client with an account on the
server as a power user or administrator?
b) Need to set the new client to use domain **** instead of a workgroup?
(Don't know how to set this, where is it in Win Xp PRO? So that when I
log-on with the client it requests username and password.

Thank you,

Ant

Ant,

Is this your domain - are you responsible here?  You have to know how to do this
stuff.

If this is a new person (new employee?), you need to setup an account for this
person on the domain controller - ie a domain userid.

If this is a new computer, you need to join this computer to the domain.

If this is a new person and a new computer, you need to do both of the above.

Its a new person & new computer...

How do I join this computer to the domain? (It is not currently requesting a
username & password when booting-up?) It does have a DHCP produced IP
address on our network.
a) How do I set it to look for the domain in Win XP Pro?
b) What and where do I need to set it up on Win Server 2003? (Do I just
created another account like all the other employees?)

Ant,

You need to join the Win XP computer to the domain.  You do this from the System
Properties wizard, when logged in as a local admin on the computer.  On the
Computer Name tab, hit the Change button.  Select Member of Domain, and enter
the Domain name.  A domain admin will then have to provide credentials to accept
the computer into the domain.

Assuming the Server 2003 computer is already a domain member, you create a
domain account with privilege similar to the other employees.
