XP networking to Windows 2000 Computer
I have on my main computer XP and trying to network to
another pc but it has Windows 2000. I can see the computer in my workgroup but when I try to access it, I get the message that access is denied to that resource and also it says there might not be enough server storage available to process this request. I tried using the network wizard diskette on the other pc, but since it is 2000 it does not work. Any ideas???? Thanks, David A. |

Not enough server storage: http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q177078 To access a Win2K computer, you need to login with an account / password identical to one setup on the Win2K computer. If XP Pro, check to see if Simple File Sharing (Control Panel - Folder Options - View - Advanced settings) is enabled or disabled. With XP Pro, you need to have the SFS settings the same on each computer. If SFS is disabled, check the Local Security Policy (Control Panel - Administrative Tools). Under Local Policies - Security Options, look at "Network access: Sharing and security model", and ensure it's set to "Classic - local users authenticate as themselves". If you set the Local Security Policy to "Guest only", make sure that the Guest account is enabled on the Win2K computer, and has an identical, non-blank, password on all computers. If "Classic", setup and use a common account with identical, non-blank, password on all computers. And please don't contribute to the spread of email address mining viruses.

XP networking to Windows 2000 Computer
Thank you Chuck for your reply.
I am using XP Home Edition. Thanks for the tips and about the email address... I got the opportunity to sign in with password, and it still said access denied. I do have the drive shared that I am trying to get to. But I will check your other tips too... Thanks again...
