| 49175 | 2002-05-16 07:28:00 | Have a small problem. Have two Windows XP machines set up networked to each other via a switch. From PC1 I can see all the shares and have no problems acessing PC2. However from PC2 whenever I go to the network neighbourhood and click on the PC name it askes me for a login and password. If I dont give it then no access. Now I managed to share a drive by altering the share permissions on everyone to modify and can now access that drive. However still no access to the PC or the shared printers on it unless admin login given when asked. Have run the network wizard and it said the printers had been shared, which they are if I use the admin login. Help required here because I cant find the cause. |

Had been trying all day to get it to work and then 10 minutes after the post I had a thought. I enabled the guest account and bingo. All access as it should be. Well I am a bit happier now. |

| 49178 | 2002-05-17 06:58:00 | Well it only appeared to work because I had logged on with the administrator password and it must have cached it. Wont work again now without having to give a password when trying to connect through the network to the PC. Strange thing is though that Windows 98SE does not care. It can see all the shared drives and printers. It is something to do with WinXP. It is also now doing it the other way. Requires a login and password to be able to open the PC when you click on it. |

| 49179 | 2002-08-15 22:59:00 | I'm facing the same problem. I have 3 computers networked with XP pro. Computer A cannot access computer B which is visible from Computer C. Computer A can see computer B. When Computer A tries to view Computer C it gets this logon box I am trying to make all PC's have equal priviledges and also share all printers. Any ideas? |

| 49180 | 2002-08-16 03:45:00 | Me and my friends had the same problem. For some reason they could not connect with my machine. they could see me on the network but not access any of my shared folders. It asked for a login. The guest account was already on, but it made no difference. I had to create a new user with admin rights, and they first had to map one of my folders and enter the login and password before they could get on to my machine. Its still a problem....its weird! |

| 49181 | 2002-08-16 07:04:00 | Windows NT 4.0, 2000 and XP are securer systems than Windows 95/98 or ME All access to the PC requires authentication via username and password. The users are visible via my computer - right click - manage Unless you log in with the same username and password that appears here, on another PC, then you will not have access. You can add as many users as you like and enabling the guest account is not recommended generally as it allows elevated rights for hackers I guess this is a FAQ topic |
