Re: Access to network shares

I first posted to this newgroup with this very problem. To fix, assuming you are on NT or Win2k and running apache as a service, you would change the service from localhost to a specific user with that user given the proper permissions. The user would be setup on the machine you are trying to access over the network. start > programs > administrative tools > services change the apache service "log on as" to an existing user with the login and password assigned to it. need further help? let me know. good luck! nicole amashta www.aeontrek.com ========================== "Michael A.
