Windows 10: permission to open local internet shared files.

I don't have permission to open local internet shared files.

I have turned on sharing and permissions in security and settings and allowed in media streaming.

cannot open files on network shared drive

we use kitchen design software, and store all the drawings on a separate computer (sort of like a server, as it also hosts our quickbooks company files). I have enabled all available permission settings, and i still have an issue. the program saves the drawings as *.kit files, which can be opened by double clicking them. the only way to open the file is to drag and drop it to the desktop, and then it opens. is there any way to set something up where i can double click the file in the shared folder to open the drawing? when i double click the file on the shared folder, the design program opens up but it does not load the drawing. so would this be an issue with the program, or the shared folder?

 

File sharing help

On the server click Start, type Computer Management or right click start and choose Computer Management from the utility menu.

Bring up the management console, select Shared Folders > Shares.

Are your shares in there? If so what permissions did you give them. Permissions are given to domain users and domain groups when you setup a Windows domain. Now that doesn't mean that other systems have to be joined to the domain but might need to access by using credentials with the username "domain\username" or "domain\security group".

If you want your home theater system to see the shared folders, you need to setup the share permissions to also include Everyone. While this is strongly not suggested in a domain environment, sometimes it is also tough to avoid. Seeing that it appears you're doing this as a home lab type of setup you should be alright.

Can you access the server via UNC path on your laptop? Open File Explorer, in the address bar type: \\your-server-name

If so can you see any shares? Does it ask for a password if you try to access the server and/or shares you can see? If you need your home theater system to see the folder you need to give it open access.

To confirm share settings, right click the folder you want to share, click Properties. Click the Share tab, then click the Advanced Sharing button. Check the box to "Share this folder". Next click permissions and confirm Everyone is checked with at least Read permissions.

If you will need more permissions then you can choose to do so here with the simpler permission options before having to dig into NTFS permissions. Hopefully read-only will get the job done for Everyone and you can select a security group or specific user or domain admin to have Change and/or Full Access permissions to the share over the network.

Let me know if that helps. *Toast :toast:

 

Is it possible to share internet connection via remote desktop?

RDP is not capable of Internet sharing, so you can't share Internet using RDP with standard applications. There are many way to share Internet from a Windows box to another one. I suggest you to use VPN. You should do following steps:

1. Run VPN Server on your server with unlimited internet access
   
2. Connect to VPN server from your limited computer
