David,
Asked here, answered here. For everybody's benefit.
On any XP Pro computer, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control
Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or
disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have SFS properly set on each
computer.
With XP Pro, if SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy
(Control Panel - Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies -
Security Options, look at "Network access: Sharing and security
model", and ensure it's set to "Classic - local users authenticate as
themselves".
With XP Pro, if you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only",
make sure that the Guest account is enabled, thru Local User Manager
(Start - Run - "lusrmgr.msc"), and has an identical, non-blank,
password on all computers. If "Classic", setup and use a common
non-Guest account, with identical, non-blank, password on all
computers.
For XP Home, OR for XP Pro with Simple File Sharing enabled, make sure
that the Guest account is enabled (for XP Pro, thru Local User Manager
(Start - Run - "lusrmgr.msc")), on each computer.
Do any of the computers have a software firewall (ICF or third party)?
If so, you need to configure them for file sharing, by opening ports
TCP 139, 445 and UDP 137, 138, 445, and / or by identifying the other
computers as present in the Local (Trusted) zone. Firewall
configurations are a very common cause of (network) browser, and file
sharing, problems.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
