printer share permissions hampering use
I have a printer hanging off my WinXP Pro box.
The printer is shared. I have another WinXP Pro box which can share the printer w/o problems. I have three Win98SE laptops. Two can share the printer w/o problems. The third (and most important) Win98SE laptop **cannot** get to the printer *nor* any of the other shares I have on the "main" WinXP Pro box. For the life of me, I cannot figure out what's going on. The three Win98SE laptops are all set up the same. When I got to my Network Neighborhood, I can see the "main" WinXP box, but I cannot see a list of shares w/o getting a password prompt. I get the same situation when I try to manually mount (via net use) the network printer. (Same when I try to access any other share on the "main" XP box.) No other machine has this problem! I am so confused. Just so you know, I have "simple file sharing" turned off. I need it turned off because I have some unique sharing issues regarding Linux connectivity. Also, the username/password on the Win98SE laptops is the same as the one on the "main" WinXP Pro box. I had at one time thought that having user names/passwords on the Win98SE laptops which were different from the WinXP Pro box would cause problems. So ... I made it so they all match. If anyone has any idea, that'd be great! Thanks. - Liam |
