Thanks AC! I wasn't sure, but I did just do that... I could not find the
exact username but I did see network and allowing the network full control
solved this problem. The only thing though... isn't there a way to allow my
other computer to have full control over my computer without having to
constantly set the permissions for each file? After I set the permission it
lets me in, but then I have the same problem with the next file! Very VERY
annoying and it would take me forever to allow all files... Thanks!
