>Computer #1 cannot even see computer #2 - "Access denied" error # 0x80070005.
Is this correct? "Access denied" is a response to a connection request. I don't see how you could get to "access denied" if #1 did not see #2, try to connect, and then get told to buzz off. >An suggestion where to start? I especially want to be able to access #2 >from #1 to set up automated backups. Where I would look first is computer #2. Computer #2 should be able to log access attempts. I don't know if logging will be on by default or if you need to enable it. I would assume that logging is on, try to connect from #1, and then immediately check #2's logs. "Access denied" should be a serious enough event to be logged. The log entry should provide some additional information about why access was denied. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
