Re: My shared folder asks for a password...

Hello there,

On my client site, I have to access a shared folder on a workgroup XP SP2
computer, the permission of which is "Everyone" (on the "Sharing" and on the
"Security" tab).

When I try to access the folder from Windows Server 2003, an
account/password are asked for.

I would like a way to find and modify the XP PC (or the W2k3 server ?) to
avoid this behavior.

I read interesting blogs
(http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html),
but the matter is quite complex and I can't figure out why a public shared
folder needs a authentication...

Best regards

You're using a computer running XP Pro as a server and Server 2003 as a client.
Do you have other clients for the XP server? Do they work properly?

Does the XP "server" use Guest authentication, or non-Guest?

I'm not sure that Server 2003 supports Guest authentication, when accessing
another server.
