Peer to Peer Problems

[Candace Sparks]

At a client site, am having problems with two computers on the network.
Usernames and passwords are the same on both computers, firewall is
disabled, permissions are full control for the user on the shared folders.
I have mapped a drive, when I click on the drive it asks for a password for
the user on the host computer. I type in the password and all is well, as
soon as she logoffs or reboots the computer, the connection is lost. The
box for reconnecting at logon is checked. What am I missing?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Make sure that all Simple Sharing settings match on all computers. Since
you mention permissions, I assume you have Simple Sharing disabled but
it never hurts to check.

It also never hurts to double-check that both user accounts/passwords
really are exactly the same.
