Sharing Problem

[daint]

Hello,

I have linked two Windows XP Pro computers together using a Wireless LAN, this seems to work fine. When I access the files on the one computer, server, they access fine, but when I disable the guest account, no access to the computer (through My Network Places) can be gained. I have set up user accounts (on the server) but on the client all I get is a Username/Password box, but no usernames or passwords will worked, I've tried this with about 5 different accounts. It won't even show the folders that are being shared, it just blocks any access at all to the server.

Can't be firewall?? because the access is given when guest account is active.

Doesn't seem like wireless problem? because communications seem to be working fine otherwise

Can anyone help??

Thanks

Daint

Did you disable simple file sharing? If so, you need to create a user account on the 'server' machine that exactly matches the username and password on the client machine. Then, set the share permissions accordingly. For a more thorough explanation, see
