Hi Chuck,

Yes the username & password are absolutely identical both on server & pc
side. There is no space and all at least 6 characters long. The shortest
username is 2 characters long. Our boss wants everything short and less
click. Could this be preventing the non-administrator account from
connecting?

when you said user account are not setup properly, how to set it up
properly? I have already give almost full permission except full control
under security settings for the folders they're suppose to access.

As for the one with ownership, I have to physically go change the ownership
myself back to administrators using the server account.

Setting up file sharing, using Windows Advanced File Sharing authentication and
authorisation, is a pretty complex process. If you don't do it properly, you
may end up using Guest authentication, which is what it sounds like you're
getting.

Now, I don't pretend to know everything about Windows Networking, and File
Sharing. I don't think anybody who really knows Windows Networking will make
that claim either.

I've been writing about the many steps involved, for over a year now, and have
condensed what I know into my website. It's a hypertext document, and links a
lot to other articles. You have to follow each link, if you read any detail
that you don't agree with, or don't understand.

Tell us a little about your LAN, please.
# You have a server, that's not used as anybody's desktop computer right?
# How many employees?
# How many desktop computers?
# Do the employees ever share desks or fill in for each other?
# Do you have any turnover of staff?
