No access to hidden share on xp-client within domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello!

I wanted to change an existing share on a Windows XP pro-PC (german, with all patches) within a Windows 2003-domain to a hidden share
(creating a new hidden share and deleting the old regular share).

Two XP-PCs need to exchange some data using a share. A network share is not an option in this particular case. Both PCs in question are domain-
members and have all patches etc. installed.

As long as they use the regular share (example:
D:\share instead of D:\share$) there is no problem. But as soon I (domain and local admin) try to e. g. map the hidden share I am told that this path does not exixt - even if 'everyone' is allowed to use the share. This error does not occur when I map the same path using a regular share even with rather restricted access-rights (both to the share and the filesystem).

Mapped drives to hidden shares on our network which are connected upon logon do work fine.

Completely shutting down the XP-firewalls on both computers did not lead to any improvment.

Any hints?

Thank you!

Bernd Leutenecker
