I have two Macs, each with 10.4.3 and connected by ethernet via router. In one direction I can connect to either the user or all and any hard drives, in the other I can connect only to the user. This was not the case before I started fiddling today!! As far as I can see the settings ownership and permissions are mirrored and in each case on connecting I go in as a Registered User with the administrator's name and password for the computer I am connecting to. A clue may be that on one machine an alias to the other appears in "Network" but this is not the case the other way around.
Suggestions please!
