Hi all,
I just read Steve Winograd's helpful article on networking in XP, and I believe I followed everything correctly. I'm running XPPro and am trying to share password protected folders with other computers on my network. I managed to get sharing to work, provided the connecting user has initially logged on to their computer with the username/pw I set up on my system. I know that for 95/98 that's as good as it gets. However, in Winograd's article, he mentions that in 2000/XP if the client is not initially logged on as the correct username and tries to connect to a password-protected folder on an XP Pro system, he will be queried for the correct user name and password (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/08clientconnect.htm, see the bottom of page). This is not happening; instead, the user is just being flat-out denied and can only get in if he initially logs in to his XP system as the username/pw combo that I set up on my XP Pro system. Does anybody know why this is, or how I might remedy it?
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Dan
