I'm having troubles sharing folders on my computer with other users on my network (LAN). On my macbook (running Leopard) I've added 3 folders to my 'Shared Folders' list. Two of them are on my external hdd, the other one is on my internal hdd. The latter is the one who's giving me problems. While the first two folders show up on both a windows XP machine as well as an iMac (also running leopard), the folder on my internal hdd refuses to be seen.

The only way I can give other users access to the folder is by sharing the entire internal HDD. For some reason, that does work, but sharing a single folder doesn't.

The firewall is turned off (allow all incoming connections) and for all 3 folders I've given 'Everyone' read/write access.

Does anyone have any clue how this can be fixed?
