[Fwd: Problems accessing hiden shares]

[Matthew Miller]

Not sure if you knew this, but NT has separate permissions on the share level.  If
the share is on a NT machine, log on as the local administrator and check the
shared permissions (right click on the shared folder, properties, share tab).

Just a suggestion.
