Problems with mapped folders

Great program - I use it constantly. One annoying problem though.

On several network folders I have mapped and set full share access parameters for those folders and all sub-folders. No problems accessing the mapped folders themselves but I cannot access many of the sub-folders in xplorer2 whilst I can access them from the same machine using windows explorer. Error given is

"..[folder name].. is not accessible.
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation”

I am running Win XP SP2 on each computer using Win networking on a home wired network - no other problems with network access. the same error occurs on the same directories when accessed from two other computer.

Is there any known solution to this?

try different access methods:
* typing the folder path (relative ok)
* double-click on folder
* double-click from the tree

does any of the above work?
what about other alternative file managers, do they work on the same folders?

Hi. Tried all the alternate methods of access you mention - no difference.

AB Commander will access these directories.

IE sometimes can and then gives the same error as xplorer2 - very strange. I actually used IE to get into a sub sub directory and it wouldn't access the parent of that directory on the way back out. I could repeat this many times - going into the lower sub directory, opening the sub sub directory and then it would not allow me to either go to the parent or go back in the history.

Excel "File open" would not access this sub directory at all - gave an error about "the folder .... isn't accessible".

looks like you've got a system-wide problem there
