Hi,

I just upgraded my primary machine to XP Professional. I can connect
to it from my laptop but all I see is SharedDocs folder. When I try
to connect to D$ drive it promps me for the user name/password. I
enter the account which is set up as an admin on the XP machine but it
says "Incorrect password or unknown username".

Is there a setting I am missing? Do I have to share D drive to be
able to access it even though I am coming in as a person having admin
rights to the box?

Thanks!

You need to login to your laptop with an account that is identical to an
account that has admin rights on the XP machine. Same user name and
password.
