File Sharing Prob's with XP-Pro and W2K Pro
On the XP PC I can see the W2K PC but get the "\\PC1 is not accessable. You must not have permission to use this network resource" error when I want to see shared folders.
On the W2K PC I cannot see the XP PC when I browse the network neighborhood.
Both machines can ping each other without problems.
I've read previous posts and tried most combinations of same users names, added/deleted NetBeui on XP-Pro.
Nothing works for me. Help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Robo

Re: File Sharing Prob's with XP-Pro and W2K Pro
C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts
There is a file already there which is called lmhosts.sam which is a sample and explains the format.
If you still can't see files then trying mapping the network drive using the ip address of the other machine. (Explorer/Tools/Map Network Drive). It should come back and ask for a valid login. After mapping the other PC will appear in Explorer as the drive letter you assigned to it and should work just like any other drive.

Re: File Sharing Prob's with XP-Pro and W2K Pro
There is a default XP setting that needs to be changed. Open windows explorer, pull down Tools, Folder Options, View, UNcheck Use simple file sharing.
Please let us know.

Re: File Sharing Prob's with XP-Pro and W2K Pro
I currently have a test network but once I can verify proper operations It will have a variety of PC/Notebooks attached. With that in mind would the use of fixed IP addresses in LMHOSTS work? The PC's are using the LinkSys routers DHCP.

Re: File Sharing Prob's with XP-Pro and W2K Pro
I tried unchecking simple file sharing and there was no difference. Rebooted both machines, waited for them to see each other and then using the XP PC I tried to access the shared folders on the W2K PC. It sees the W2K PC but the same error message when you try and see the folders: \\PC1 is not accessable. You might not have permission...
I did this with/without NetBeui added on the XP PC. Again no difference. Rebooting each time.
I checked in with the LinkSys router and looked at the DHCP Client List. W2K was xxx.xxx.xxx.100 and was named. XP was xxx.xxx.xxx.101 and the name was blank. I've never seen that. The XP machine is named. I changed it rebooted and then looked at the Routers DHCP Client list and it was still blank. Thoughts on that one ???
I'd like to revisit what accounts need to be set up on both machines for file and print sharing to work. Several other posts on this site say that you need to mirror the identical user names.
Lets say my XP PC and my W2K PC both have the same user name and password and both have administrator rights. The names for each PC are different. Would this scheme work?
In a second example the XP PC has a user name XP and the W2K machine is user name W2K. Both have administrator rights. Using the Control Panel Passwords tool I create a second user on each PC. The XP PC's second user is named W2K with the appropriate PW. The W2K PC's second user is named XP with the appropriate PW. Would this scheme work?
Thanks for the help. Robo
