I have 3 XP Pro PCs. No server. All in same workgroup.

PC1 can see all shared folders on PC2 but cannot access any of them.
I always get "PC1\foldername is not accessible. You might not have
permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of
this server to find out if you have access permissions."

PC2 can access folders on PC1.

PC3 has the same problems with PC2 as PC1.

PC2 can access some of the shared folders on PC1.

I have tried installing ALL of the available clients, services and
protocols for the ethernet adapter on all PCs. I have tried turning
off the Windows (and Eset) firewalls.

I have tried just about everything I know to share folders on PC2 to
no avail.

Anybody have any ideas?


What it usually means is that you have user permission issues on the
share itself. It could be that the Everyone group account has no
permissions on the share, while all other user accounts have
permissions on the share. The Everyone group account will supersedes
all other accounts and their permissions, as an example.

You can only see the share permissions for accounts on the share be
disabling Simple File Sharing on XP Pro.

You should take note in the link about the Authenticated User group on
shares and remove the Everyone account off of the share.

http://labmice.techtarget.com/articl...ychecklist.htm

I did disable Simple File Sharing. It showed that Everyone had full
control in the Sharing as well as Security tabs - as I wanted it.

But, if I remove Everyone from the shares, I will have to log in to the
shares. Something that should be unneccessary. That's the whole
reason for the Everyone account.

It doesn't have to be the Everyone account. It's just an example. You
got System and some others. For me, on a share and I was using the
Everyone group account on the share, then way have any other account on
the share? Everyone means any and every account un-challenged.


Which is exactly what I want.

For me, I just have the Authenticated group account on the share and no
other account is on the share. If one can access the share, then it
means I have set up an account for them to access the share on the
computer. Their one account that they can use to login to any machine on
the LAN, a strong named user-id and psw that never expires, and they are
never challenged for user-id and psw, as they are Authenticated users.


That's one way to go. I'd rather not go that route myself. If I'm going
to bother authenticating users and such, I'll install a 2003 server and
do it up right.


I really don't think you understand what Authenticated user means here in
the context, and has nothing to do with a domain controller. Win XP pro
and Win 2k3 server are NT based O/S(s) and the core of them have very
little differences.


Let's see......according to the Microsoft XP Professional Resource Kit 2nd
Edition (written by The Microsoft Windows Team you know), page 715,
"Authenticated Users. Any user, except a user of the Guest account, who is
authenticated locally by a trusted domain controller. This identity
provides user with the rights neccessary to operate the sytem as an end
user. (The Guest account is never treated as an Authenticated User.)"

And, from page 716..."In Windows 2000 and later, groups whose membership is
automatically configured by the operating system, such as Everyone and
Authenticated Users, are not used to assign permissions to file and registry
objects. Only those groups whose memberships can be controlled by and
administrator - primarily Users, Power Users, and Administrators - are used
to assign permissions. When users are a member of a group, they
automatically have the permissions that have been assigned to that group."

In other words, yes Mr. Arnold, I DO understand what Authenticated Users
means. And, since I have no domain controller (note the reference to "no
server" in the original post) in my 3 PC + router setup and since you cannot
make an XP PC a domain controller, you either are having trouble with the
English language, are completely clueless about Authenticated Users (as
defined by Microsoft) or are simply a troll trying to drag this thread off
topic.

I'd say you are the latter.

Good day to you sir.

Boy, you got some real mental issues you need to address, and anger is one
of them. I am sure you have heard it before. Let me get you some tissues
for your issues, then we can make an appointment for you to visit a mental
disease.specialist to treat your needs.

I live in the US too, but this just goes to show why the rest of the world
hates the US, with people like you living in it that will attack at the drop
of a hat, guns drawn - cowboy

It looks to me that your mama should have never had you. She should have
strangled you at birth with you own placenta. She must have known there was
something wrong you. I bet you flipped the bird at her and the medical
staff too when you popped.

This is a correction boy you had me laughing too hard.

It looks to me that your mama should have never had you. She should have
strangled you at birth with *your* own placenta. She must have known there

something wrong with you. I bet you flipped the bird at her and the

staff too when you popped.

At least you had the courtesy to no longer comment on a subject you know
nothing about.

Thank you.

Yeah, yeah whatever double agent cowboy. Why don't you hook up a sink,
stove, refrigerator and a George Foreman grill to your network, that's
double NAT'ed? You can double-up on everything.

You are the man. It's your show boss.

Last time I had similar problems, it was due to services being disabled /
not running. Go start run services.msc and check for disabled items. I
believe it was 'network DDE' that I started and things started working...

Worth a try.

Try :-
1) Adding each folder as a network place manually under "My Network Places"
2) Go to the folder that needs to be shared and right-click, Properties. Go to
the "Sharing" tab and make sure the relevant checkboxes are ticked.

Thanks, but problem persists.
When this happens I can’t see my shared folders on my network places too...
I think is something that nod32 does when i try to uninstall it.

Try :-
1) Adding each folder as a network place manually under "My Network Places"
2) Go to the folder that needs to be shared and right-click, Properties. Go to
the "Sharing" tab and make sure the relevant checkboxes are ticked.
