Hi!
Here's my problem: I've turned of simple filesharing om my XP Pro because i
want some folders to be password-protected, while others should be
accessable to everyone in the network. But now others in the network have to
type in a userame and password to get access to all my sharde folders,
inkluding those with permissions and share permissions set to "everyone".
How can i fix this problem without enabeling the guest account or switching
back to simple file sharing?
Daniel
"Everyone" permission means "everyone who has an account on this
computer". It doesn't mean "all users".
With simple file sharing disabled, XP Pro requires a user who wants to
connect from a client computer to have an account on the server
computer (the one that owns the shared folder). To do that without
prompting the user for a user name and password on each access
attempt, you can either:
1. Log into the client computer with a user name and password that
match an existing account on the server computer.
or:
2. Create an user account (with the same user name and password) on
the server computer for each user who wants to connect from a client
computer.
