Ok, when I sit down at the computer with the file share on it, and login
using any user account on the computer.... all of the other computers
networked to the file share can access the files that they are allowed to
access. When windows xp pro is displaying the login srceen (on the computer
that holds the file share), none of the networked computers can access the
file share.
-- all user accounts on all networked computers are same
Does that make more sense?
