Hi Guys,

I'm stupified on this one.

I have a SBS called hfmserver that has a folder called User Shared
Folders shared as users. The domain is hfm.local.

All computers on and off the domain can access this shared folder fine.


However, two computers, which are NOT joined to the domain, but are
apart of a workgroup called HFM, cannot access the shared folder.

When I type \\hfmserver\users in the location bar of Windows Explorer I
get the following error message:

\\hfmserver\users is not accessible. You might not have permission to
use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to
find out if you have access permissions.

Here is the result I'd like to have, which some of the other computers
on the workgroup behave like:

1) User logs on to workgroup as local user "HFM User".
2) Tries to access \\hfmserver\users
3) Prompts for domain credentials.

I've tried everything I can think of... enable/disable simple file
sharing, the guest acount... the restrictanonymous registry key. I've
even reinstalled Windows on the client, but still I get this same
error. I'm very puzzled, as this machine worked fine up until a couple
of days ago.... and I cannot think of anything that could of changed.

If anyone could assist with this one I'd really appreciate it!!!

Thanks,
Mike
