Home Network
Machine A (XP Pro) - can be configured any way you like, it stays at
home.

Machine B (2000 Pro) - (laptop) used in office on 2k (mixed) domain.

When A access B - no problems, shares folders all OK

When B access A - no logon server is available.
Have tried changing B to a workgroup (not acceptable long term but for
test) - same result ! - yes I'm sure it was changed.

Workgroup and Domain are same.
NetBios over TCP/IP on both machines
Same user account and pass on both machines.
Machine A has XP firewall turned off

Have messed with this for three hours - killling me!
Any ideas appreciated. Pse forward repsonses to email also -in case I
don't get back here.

Many thanks,
(e-mail address removed)

Since B is joined to a domain you will have to connect to A using a explicit
account on A.

Like this "net use x: \\a\share /user:a\userona password"
