Hi all,
I have just upgraded my machine and re-installed WinXP (Pro) w/ SP1.
All seems to be up and running.. except for file sharing over my LAN.
I have a couple of other computers on the network, one of which is
running an ICS service with a Cable Modem connection (again, working
fine with my computer). All computers can ping each other without a
problem.
My problem is that each computer has a couple of shared folders. I
can get to the shared folders on any of the other computers, but they
cannot get to any of mine. When browsing the network through
explorer, they can see my computer, but clicking on it brings up a
username/password dialog, and no matter what I enter, it won't
connect. Same thing goes if I try to do a 'net use' to map a drive.
The drives containing the shares are NTFS. The Share is set for Full
Control to Everyone, likewise for the NTFS permissions on the folder
itself.
Each computer is running software firewalls, but while testing I have
disabled both firewalls with no noticeable difference to the problem.
Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? Any suggestions on how to fix this
are welcome.
Cheers,
Aaron
