Re: algorithm for incoming network logon

I know that you have already sent that information between two computers & that if neither of them has rebooted it won't bother prompting you for a password as you already have permission. I also know that sometimes if you have a user name on both computers with the same password it will use your login authentication to the local computer to apply to the computer across the network. I know of at least one instance where this is not the case. My dad has to browse to my mom's computer so it will ask for his user name & password even though he has the same user name & password on her computer.

You forgot that by default the guest account is disabled & it is also disabled from accessing over the network. So some nested if statements to check if it is even enabled & if it can even dream of using the network. One other thing is at the deny access depending on the settings it will prompt you for a user name & password, then if you give bad credentials or don't even try to provide credentials you are denied access. Other then those facts you are really close to the truth. I'm not 100% sure I covered everything though.


Good point. Sometimes it does ask for username and password, and sometimes it doesn't. What are the factors influencing this?
