If you are in a Domain, like you say
These permissions are probably set with a gp on the domain server.
and you'd need to have file in print sharing enabled.
HOWEVER in a Domain, Don't do this!
IMO you shouldn't share PC Drives in a domain
Move the folders/files to the Server
(so they get backed up)
and create a LINK to them on each persons desktop.
(If they need them offline use folder sync)
Next, I would NOT recommend turning OFF Windows firewall
(There is security reasons for having it on, and no reason to have it off.)
And hopefully you have AV on each PC and servers.
