Hi guys,
I have two computers on a large desk side by side. Both are running Windows 8.1
I have a drive on computer A which I want to be able to access on computer B.

I have gone into advanced sharing for the drive and enabled sharing.
However, when I go to map the drive on computer B, I get an error that I don't have permission to access that drive.

What am i missing here? Neither computers are using logins/passwords for the admin user account.

help!
 
Couple of places you want to check:

Thanks topgun, everything is set correctly. I still get:

"you do not have permission to access \\blackbox\media"
 
I assume that blackbox is the computer name, am I correct ?
Also look in security tab to see if you have a user: Everyone added with full permission
