Hi, I'm not sure I understand or have been given all the relevant
info about your situation, but it seems you should not have to log
off to access other resources, if you have set the proper permissions.

There are two levels of perms that are relevant, share and NTFS
(file system). Maybe you need to review how they work and be
sure to set them so they work together to provide access as
needed.

It's not clear to me from your description of the problem, what
you've set up as accounts and file shares. So look at both account
properties and also the properties of the network shares.

I don't want to speculate too much without knowing the specifics
but it seems you may not have perms set for relevant users?
In a non-domain setting, you may need to set up user accounts
on the machine serving the shares.

Maybe that helps get you thinking. If not, please clearly provide
more specifics.

Dr. David
