I have one server come with the Windows 2003 Server and act as domain controller. This is a centralized server to keep all document files.
There are 5 windows XP SP2 PCs link to the above server. They are configured as WORKGROUP (not DOMAIN - this is the company rule) and link under same IP range by using the fix IP (same as server configuration).
User log in windows XP through the local account. The 5 PCs above will then give a access to the the above shared folder through \\<server A>\<shared folder> .
My question is out of the 5 PCs, only 2 PCs ONLY will alert the user and password screen/dialog but not to the remaining PCs. What is the root cause for the differences between the 2 and 3 PCs?
We don't want to switch all WORKGROUP PCs to the Domain PCs and prefer to local windows account since this is just a small LAN. How can I remove the screen/dialog above because we don't need this at the same time remain all existing configuration?
