The choice of operating system, workgroup name or username for the
workstation is not mine. I understand the effective permissions, but
your observation is usefull for others; if this user connects
remotely, he has full control of his workspace. I typically remove
everybody as a user group from share permissions and assign explicit
rights.

OK, just thought I'd mention it.

This unit has a dynamic ip address WAN wireless connection to the
Internet via the PPP adapter.

OK...I'd missed the part where you said "over the net"...I presume now you
mean VPN? That would've been good to mention more prominently.

I am assuming the MAC Bridge Miniport
is part of the configuration as this device may support a different
communications protocol (i.e. ATM, X.25, Ethernet, etc.).

It's highly unlikely. However, it's now irrelevant given the above...

I'm not sure if this workstation is or is not part of a home network;
but since the primary function of the browser service is to provide
a list of computers sharing resources in a client's domain

....Since he's not on your LAN this may not matter. However, I was under the
impression he was on your network....if you have a domain you ought to have
WINS....the master browser should always be the WINS server. If a
workstation tries to force an election the whole network will be unhappy.

along with
a list of other domain and workgroup names across the wide-area
network (WAN), I'm not sure disabling it makes sense here.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Let's get back to basics.

1. How exactly is this user connecting to your network?
2. What IP address does he have *on your network*
3. Do other users with the same setup have similar problems, or do they work
fine?

Scenario:

XP Home Edition SP2 with basic workgroup, user logged on as owner
with mapped drive using different user name to 2003 Server SP1
shared folder over the net. Able to browse but unable to copy to
shared drive without error "Error Copying File or Folder. Cannot
copy xxxx: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or
write-protected and that the file is not currently in use." Domain
user has explicit full control permissions on folder and is member
of Authenticated Users which have modify permissions on share.

FWIW, I usually leave share permissions as everyone=full control, as
it makes life easier. Note that even though you've granted this user
Full Control all he'll effectively get is Modify.


Using different computer with XP Pro SP2 but computer as member of
domain on local network, logged on locally, i.e. not as domain user,
but same drive mapping parameters including domain User ID when
mapping drive, no problems.

Suggestions?

Outside of the obvious, which is "upgrade all XP Home boxes to XP
Pro and join the domain", I'd probably make the local computer
username & password identical to that on the domain, and perhaps
even make the workgroup name the same as the domain's NetBIOS name
and see if this still happens. Also see more comments below....

PS: Based on other posts, the ipconfig and browstat for the problem
computer are:

Remove this...you can't possibly need it in this context (unless
it's used elsewhere, but I find that unlikely).

I'm confused....where's your Ethernet adapter's IP config ?

Hmm - well, unless this computer normally participates in another
(home) network, I'd probably stop & disable the computer browser
service on it.

Master browser is running build 2600
1 backup servers retrieved from master LIFEBOOK

There are 1 domains in domain MSHOME on transport
\Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{266F235D-0EF4-424C-9484-241869BAB734}

Please correct me if I've assumed anything incorrectly...it's been
known to happen.
