This is getting really annoying. One time I can access a Win2000 machine, a
few hours later, I can't.

LAN: (1)W98SE:PEER2, (2)W2K:LAPTOP1 and PEER7

I'm happily looking through folders shared by PEER7 on PEER2, running
Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and everything's fine. I come back a few hours
later and out of the frikin' blue, PEER2 now has no permission to access
PEER7.

And yet, I can call up the webs that PEER7 is hosting in a browser on
PEER2.

PEER7 can access shares on PEER2.

+++++++++++++++++++

OK, just came back after an hour's lunch break. PEER2 can access shares on
PEER7 with no problems now. I didn't do a darn thing- nothing has changed.
WTF is going on??

But now, LAPTOP1 cannot access the shares on PEER2! I get "Incorrect
Password or Unknown Username for:" the exact same share I just now
successfully accessed from PEER2.


How's this for a possible, but completely lame-ass reason: only one user
who is named "XXX YYY" can access a W2K share at a time? I have LAPTOP1,
PEER2 and PEER7 all logged on as "XXX YYY". Is this the essential problem?
The same so-called "user" working on three machines?

Is PEER7 (W2K) restricting access to its shares to just *one* instance of
user "XXX YYY"??
 
Is the W2K fully patched?

The PEER7 (W2K) is up to but *not* including SP4. I refuse to apply SP4.
Same with LAPTOP1 (W2K) although LAPTOP1 has 17 more "NTUninstall" folders
than PEER7. Probably due to the fact that LAPTOP1's W2K installation pre-
dates SP2. PEER7's installation had SP3 slip-streamed into the installion
media.

Which patches/service packs are you thinking I may have applied that would
cause this so-called "loss of permissions" situation?

Thinking about what I've done: PEER7 is a relatively new addition to the
LAN. I'm using it as the IIS5 server for Web site development. It's been
wired in for about a month now. It's only been this past week that the
permissions issue has manifested itself.

About two weeks ago (roughly), I applied KB282010 but I don't think that's
the problem.

About a week ago, I installed Macromedia Studio MX on PEER2 (W98SE) but I
don't see how that could be the problem either (other than the butt-load of
problems Dreamweaver already has).

Thanks for the reply.
 
Is ms03-026 installed?

PEER7 (W2K) was patched for the RPC vulnerability the day it was brought
onto the LAN. As was every other patch Windows Update suggested *except*
for SP4 and DirectX9 (and the latest version of WMP is not installed
either). LAPTOP1 (W2K) is also patched to the same degree.

Are you thinking the RPC patch may be causing this?
 
Because if it isn't installed, then you might get hit with the blasterworm
and get those RPC-issues and many other problems.
