Problem Sharing folder on Windows 8
Hi,
I want to share a folder on my Win station at home (Win8 Pro) so that my HP MFP can drop scanner documents in that folder. With Win7 that worked fine.
What I did so far onmy Win8 :
- add a user scanner
- give that user scanner NTFS full rights on the scanner folder
- share the scanner folder as 'scanner'
- give the scanner user full rights on the share
It does not work. Even worse when I try to access \\computername\scanner from my computer itself I get a error "windows cannot acces \\... you do not have permission to acces ..."
Tried disabling firewall, did not change anything.
Googling learned me that you can turn sharing on/off on the network adapter by right-click on network icon that appears when hoovering to the right of the screen en choosing setting. That 'turn sharing on/off' option (or any option) do not appear when right-clicking.
I have the windowsphone sdk installed, and so there is a hyper-V layer installed on top of my nic. I checked all nic's. Sharing is enabled on the nic.
any further suggestions ?
