Map to XP drive on Intranet

[Mike]

I can map out of XP Pro without any problems. However, I have been unable to
use my laptop (Win 2K) on an internal network to map to a drive on the XP
system. It can map to a different system using Win2K as well.

It sees the system in network neighborhood. It asks me for a userid and
password. I enter same and it says they are not recognized on the XP system.

When I use map, I do a \\XP\C$ as the address. The accounts I am using are all
administrative accounts. Same results, does not recognize the userid/password.

I have turned on just about every service possible, disabled XP's firewall and
Norton Personal Firewall, disabled NOD32 virus checking, triple checked my
userids and passwords (tried several different userids), and banged my head on
the desk several times.

Does a security setting exist somewhere that needs to be changed?

Hope all have a happy holiday - maybe someone can send me the solution as a
nicely wrapped present?

The xp has maybe disabled 'simple file sharing' and then your user would
need an account created.Another possibility is that the XP system has chosen
to put a password on the Guest account, and any remote user would need to
use that password (since they logon as 'guest')

I found that I can create a named share on XP and then my laptop can map it.
Has the \\XP\c$ mapping that one has in Win2K been dropped from XP?

Happy holidays.
