Re: 2000/XP Networking Problem

What rights you assign the account names doesn't matter - the NAMES and
PASSWORDS are what need to match up between the two computers. If you log
onto one PC with the name "Garry" and a password of "lost", then the
computer you want to access over the network must have a user with the same
name, and password, and with rights to the folders you want to access.
