Re: File sharing

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Well I made the change and it worked one time. Then the error returned.
Could this be related to the wireless connection the laptop uses?

There is a client destop shortcut that I never use. It called "connect to
SBS." Shouldn't it provide the needed connection if it doesn't happen at
login? I run it and it appears to work but does not open access to shares.

Exchange works fine.

I use a desktop workstation and an laptop, both updated xp.

The desktop can access all of the shares on SBS but suddenly the
laptop can only access the offline folders and none of the shares,
even when logged onto the network. The server uses RRA, not Windows
firewall. Any idea why?

I replied to a similar post about this a while back....

-----------------------

See http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q290523 - I
think this may be related. You aren't using VPN at this point, of course -
but it sounds like Windows XP doesn't know the server is available upon
your
intial login. I'll bet if you plug in the computer to the network, power
it
up, and then wait a bit before logging in, this doesn't happen....

You may want to enable the "always wait for network...." GPO setting, so
that when you connect to the network you won't be logging in using your
cached credentials before the network connection is fully initiated - what
it's doing now is called "fast logon"

To change this, you'd go to computer config \ admin templates \ system \
logon.
Double-click "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon"
and
enable it.
You could set this in the client computers GPO - or create your own & link
it to the MyBusiness OU or SBSComputers OU.
