I have a server 2003 machine with several XP machines that access some files
on it. Last Monday those XP machines suddenly started requiring a user
id/password to gain initial connection to the 2003 machine. I am assuming
that the change occurred on the server but what do I change to unrequire
this client authentication.
 
Hi Don-

Do you know what changed on the server? Was it made a domain controller (or
was it already a DC)? Have your XP computers recently updated to Service
Pack 2?
 
Nothing known changed on server, it is just a workgroup and not a domain.
We didn't convert to sp2 until the next weekend. Once a connection is made
from the XP machine everything is great until the next bootup. I once solved
this same problem when I first upgraded the server from win2000 to win2003,
but I can't remember what simple setting I made.
