I have four computers on a home network.Three are XP Pro and one is XP
Home.I share all drives to all four machines.My problem is with the XP
home machine.I can see(share) my shared drives from the XP home to any
xp pro but none of the xp pro machines will map any network drive back
to the XP home machine.I simple get the password box with
username\guest password box (greyed out)and password request.Obviously
there is no password for that account.This has got something to do with
the limits of xp home networking but there has to be a solution?
On the XP Home computer:
1. Make sure that the Guest account is enabled for access by other
computers over the network:
a. Open a command prompt window (Start > Run > cmd).
b. Type this command, then press Enter:
net user guest /active:yes
2. Remove the network password from the Guest account:
a. Click Start > Run.
b. Type "control userpasswords2" in the box and click OK.
c. Click Guest.
d. Click Reset Password.
e. Click OK without entering a new password.
