Problem Connecting to Windows 2000 Pro Share

In this case, yes, but only because the client originally
configured their systems badly. All the users are running
their workstations as "Administrator" and all have the same
password!!

That said, does the shared system really need user accounts
for all the users who will use its shares? Thsi would seem
to be an administrative nightmare for an m x n peer-to-peer
network.

Thanks for the info.

Does the account that you're using on the XP machine exist
on the Win2K machine? With the same username and password?

A Windows XP Professional user is having problems
connecting to a Windows 2000 Professional shared folder.
The W2K share Permissions grants access to Everyone with
all permissions checked. The security settings for the
folder allow Authenticated Users full control.

The WinXP user sees the W2K computer in the list of
Workgroup computers. But double clicking on the computer
results in a long delay and then a message that "\\XYZ
computer 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. The
network path was not found."

O/S particulars: XP Pro SP 1; W2k SP 3
.

There is a setting in the Group Policy Editor, actually two that may =
help.

Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local =
Policies, Security Options.

1) Network Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users=20

2) Network Access: Shares that can be access anonymously.

I think I'd play with #2 first, rather than exposing the entire machine =
via #1.
