Hi Howard,
a solution for this problem wll be often asked for.
The problem is AFAIK XP SP2 with its default setting
for network access.
"Al Edlund" writes the following in this ng:
----- Begin -----
winxp-pro local network security defaults to guest, so you have to go into
it and tell it to use traditional (userid and password).
----- End -----
Another posting, which is not longer to see in this ng of "BP" was:
----- Begin -----
SOunds like you may be bitten by a security setting. I had a similar
problem and one of the MS people pointed me to a default setting on XP
workgroups.
Open Administrative tool, Local Security Policy,Local Policies, Security
Options
Uner Network Access, Sharing and security model... make sure it is set to
Classic. On XP Pro workstations in a workgroup, it defaults to "Guest"
meaning all remote connections connect under the guest account, and you
won't have enough secuirty level to run
----- End -----
HTH
Bye
Peter
