File sharing without loging in
For some reason I have 2 computers with xp pro and a shared directory on 1 of
the computers that works great so long as the computer with the shared directory has someone logged in at the terminal, but fails whenever I try to access the share without having someone logged in at the terminal. Thanks in advance. -- Mike |

File sharing without loging in
What do you mean by terminal? Terminal Services? Remote Desktop? Well, there
is a setting in the group policy client server data redirection in Administrative Templates. If you turn that thing disable, your drivers in your workstation will not load while you remote desktop to another computer. I think most likely your problem is you have two separate accounts. To share something, you must have same account or will not work.

File sharing without loging in
Ok, when I sit down at the computer with the file share on it, and login
using any user account on the computer.... all of the other computers networked to the file share can access the files that they are allowed to access. When windows xp pro is displaying the login srceen (on the computer that holds the file share), none of the networked computers can access the file share. -- all user accounts on all networked computers are same Does that make more sense?

File sharing without loging in
It kind of make sense. To best of my knowledge, I think your Windows XP Pro
must have a login name and password as same as all other computers. Then let's say different computers have different administrator login name and password. All right, now you have to go each computer and change the Admin login name and password so when you try to login to a file share in the computer it asks username and password of the login name. You enter admin login name and password. That way you can log in to a share. So let's say you have a user called TOM login by using his login name and password. So when he logs in and try to access a share on another computer, he enters the Admin login name and password to get the file. I think your Windows XP Pro which holds the share does not have a admin login name and password. You can set an adim login name and password by right clicking my computer, go to users and groups, then you will see Administrator. RIGHT CLICK On administrator then click on set password. It just gives you a warning that you will not able to use some files or folders, something like that. Do not worry about it if you are login to that computer using your own login name called TOM and a password. So, I hope this helps and I am not clear the question you are asking. So make sure you have the same administrator login name and password that hold your share in WIN XP PRO and also the computers in the network has the same login name and password for the admin as your WINDOWS XP PRO that holds that share. ------------------ SEE, OKAY I THINK I GOT IT. ACCOUNTS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SAME IN ALL OF YOUR COMPUTERS, IT IS GOOD IF SO + YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT ADMINISTRATOR OKAY, ADMINISTRATOR IN EVERY COMPUTER HAS THE SAME USER NAME AND PASSWORD TO SHARE A FILE --------------------------- Change your Administrator login name and password in every computer that attached to your network.
