Hello all -
I ran this fix today on my xp box to reset the secuity settings.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;313222

This box is fine, but I can no longer access it from a 2nd (Win2k)
PC over the network. The client in the second PC asks for user
ID/Password, I provide it with the my logon credentials on the XP
box and it fails.

Shouldn't this work? Is there something I have to do on the 1st
box ?

TIA for any info



Is it XP Home or XP Pro?
If it is XP Pro, try enabling "Simple File Sharing"
(Double-click any folder -> Tools -> Folder Options -> View ->
Last checkbox at bottom

HTH,
John
It's PRO and simple file sharing already enabled.

Regarding Pegasus' point - prior to resetting the XP PC's security, Windows
2000 was able to
access the shares on the XP box in the workgroup without a problem.
The account name did not match the XP account name,
but somewhere along the line the client in Win2k had asked for the password,
and I gave it the logon/
password I use when I logon to the XP box. Now I'm trying that again, but
it's not working.

I looked in the event viewer hoping to find some diagnostic message, but
nothing gets logged on
either box. Any other way to gather some more info ?
