Windows XP Non-Simple File Sharing
When I turn off Simple File Sharing on Windows XP Pro so
that I can set permissions on shares rather than giving access to everybody, nobody on the network is able to access the computer doing the sharing any more. These are Windows 98 Clients in a workgroup configuration, not a domain. Instead of being shown the contents of the folder, they are prompted for a password when looking at the share - when supplied with the password, it is rejected, even though it is the same as the one supplied at logon which is the same as for a valid account on the XP machine. Looking at local security policy, it seems to hinge on the "Security Model for Local Accounts" setting. When this is set to Classic, there are all the problems described above. When set to guest, Simple file sharing is set again, but folders can be accessed (albeit only if guest had been granted access to them, otherwise "access denied"). When the OS is first installed, I fixed this problem by disabling Simple FS and then clicking the message about "Windows has disabled access to this computer as a security measure, to enable it without using the network setup wizard, click here". For some reason non-simple FS has stopped working suddenly. How to I get it working again? |
