Access Denied on Shared Folder
Hi,
I have 1 desktop PC and 2 laptops all running XP Pro. The desktop is wired to a wireless router/modem and both laptops connect to it via wireless. Simple File Sharing is switched on for all PCs and the Guest Account is activated on all with the same password. All PCs are part of the same Workgroup (HOMENW) From the Desktop PC I can view the shared folders of both laptops. From both laptops I can use the printer which is connected to the Desktop PC via USB. I can see the Desktop PC shared folder from both laptops, however I cannot access it from either laptop, receive the message "You might not have permission to use this netowrk resource blah blah..... Access Denied". Help, what am I doing wrong ?? (I have turned all firewalls off to see if that helped and no luck). |

Access Denied on Shared Folder
On one of the XP Pro computers enable auditing of logon events in Local
Security Policy to see if there are any type three logon failures or other events that may help determine what the problem is. Also guest access requires that "everyone" has share and NTFS/folder permissions. You could disable simple file sharing to see the security tab of a folder that is on an NTFS volume to see the security permissions. Otherwise consider not using simple file sharing and create matching users accounts/passwords on all the computers. The links below explain more on share and NTFS/folder permissions. --- Steve http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308418 http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q248260 -- applies to XP also. http://www.mcmcse.com/microsoft/guid...missions.shtml http://www.windowsnetworking.com/j_helmig/guidshrh.htm http://www.windowsnetworking.com/art.../wxpsimsh.html "Dmunn" wrote in message ...
