If you guys have been switchning between classical and
simple file sharing read this fromt eh same web site I
gave you in my last e-mail
----------------------------------------------
Access methods, access rights or passwords not properly set
In Windows XP Professional, if you desire classic file
sharing based on username and password instead of XP's
default method of allowing only Guest access, go to Start,
Control Panel, Folder Options, View, and uncheck "Use
Simple File Sharing (Recommended)". Click on OK.
Note that this is not generally required for file sharing.
Simple File Sharing should work fine, but Classic File
Sharing allows you to assign different access rights to
different user accounts.
Conversely, if you want to access other computers from XP
using the classic method instead of Guest access, use
Control Panel, Computer administration, Group policies,
and find the policy to allow access to other computers
through the actual user name. (Please send me an email and
let me know the exact name of this policy, so I can put it
in here, as I currently use a non-English system with
different names.)
After such a fundamental change, particularly when
changing from Classic to Simple File Sharing, it may be
necessary to remove and re-establish the sharing for all
shares, one by one, in Windows Explorer to make sure the
shares are accessible by Guest. Be sure to remove the
sharing and close the dialog completely by clicking on OK,
then open it again and re-establish the share.
To set or change the password in Windows XP, select
Control Panel, Administrative Tools, System Tools, Local
Users and Groups, Users. Right-click on a user name to set
password. You also have to set permissions for all users
on the shared objects (folders, files, printers, etc.).
Usually this is done through groups, which contain the
users. Later use this same user name and password to log
on from other computers.
