Network/Security issue with $ shares
This is being cross-posted to both the Windows 2000 Professional group, and
the Windows XP Professional group, as it pertains to both Operating Systems. I am on a wired/wireless home network, using a Linksys WRT54GS router. The network consists only of my main computer, the PC (wired) and my laptop (wireless). The PC is currently using Windows 2000 Pro, SP4. The laptop is currently using Windows XP Pro, SP2. Currently, the network is semi-functional, in that I can view them both under "My Network Places" - "Entire Network" - "Microsoft Windows Network" - "WORKGROUP" and I can see any shared folders/files/etc. Both computers are accessible through their individual \\computername addresses, and also display all shared folders/files/etc there. Here is where it gets a bit tricky. I apologize if this rambles on a bit, but I feel the need to explain as many details as possible, as well as steps taken. The laptop is able to access all files on the PC using the default \\pcname\c$ share. The PC is unable to reciprocate, and cannot access the \\laptopname\c$ share. Both computers are being logged in to with a username with full administrative rights. I have double, and triple checked the username and password for the laptop, and even set up a username and password that is the same as the admin account on the PC. I have tried logging in solely with the username/password, with laptopname\username, laptopname/username, \\laptopname\username, \\laptopname/username, //laptopname/username, and //laptopname\username. Anything that might possibly work. I have rebooted between tries, I have tried them all in one go. All of them are denied access, and I can see the username listed in the administrators group on both the PC and the laptop, so it cannot be a permissions issue, or rather, it shouldn't be. The Windows Firewall is disabled, I have no other firewalls running when I try. My router's firewall is disabled when I try. The error message received when trying to access: "The Credentials Supplied Conflict with an Existing Set of Credentials" Does anyone have any suggestions? This is driving me mad, I feel like I have checked everything, but I am sure I have overlooked some obvious step. Please help. Thanks, Devi |

See the first link below that explains what is going on as it sounds as if
you already have a connection to the computer. You can use the command net use to see if you have any sessions to the computer which could be due to a mapped drive or such using persistent credentials. I would also look in the security log of the XP computer for failed logons that may explain more of what is going on. You can use Local Security Policy to make sure that auditing of loon events is enabled. ---- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=106211 http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q248260 --- how to enable auditing and also works in XP Pro.

net use displays:
"New connections will be remembered. There are no entries in the list." The Security Log does not show any failed logins. Even after enabling the "Audit account logon events" (success/failure), it does not appear in the Security Log.

Is simple file sharing disabled on the XP Pro computer? If not try
disabling it to see if that makes any difference. Use Windows Explorer/tools/folder options/view - use simple file sharing and uncheck it to disable it. It is the last item in the list. --- Steve "Devi" wrote in message ... net use displays: "New connections will be remembered. There are no entries in the list."
