May 31, 2013 12:07 PM in response to rkaufmann87by iGeekiHackiMatt,Do you mean SMB? If so I have turned on already.
Or the client side? Sharing is on, on the windows computers. I can access the mac and shared folders from the internal Hard Drive just not on the USB drives. -

Photos for MacSorry I don't speak Windows but I know you have to turn on their equiviant. You will need to get some support on Visita abuot how to turn on file and disk sharing.

May 31, 2013 12:15 PM in response to rkaufmann87by iGeekiHackiMatt,Vista is the computer I upgraded from as the host, now it is out of the question. Yes sharing is on the client side. This needs to work on 2 windows 7s and a Windows 8 computer.
This seems to be a windows connectivity problem or a server side problem. I do not have another Mac to test afp connectivity. -

Photos for MacSounds like the problem is with knowing how to using Windows to share resources. Turning on sharing in OS X is extremely easy, Windows well that's another thing.

May 31, 2013 12:29 PM in response to rkaufmann87by iGeekiHackiMatt,I do not see this being a windows problem as of right now. I would love to blame windows because I am huge Apple fan.
When I view the info of the drives under Sharing & Permissions I just see "You can read and write" is that what it should be or should I have the table as if it was a file on the internal Hard Drive? -
May 31, 2013 12:37 PM in response to rkaufmann87by iGeekiHackiMatt,I know you do not "speak windows" but if there is someone that does the exact wording of the error is:
"\\HOST-NAME\USB-NAME is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The parameter is incorrect."
With HOST-NAME and USB-NAME being different for obvious reasons.
