Hi,
I'm running XP Pro and would like to give a friend on the uni network access to a shared folder. So I created a user account called 'admin' (the same as he uses on his laptop (also XP) and set the security and premission entries of the folder to full access. However when he tried to connect it gives him a 'You don't have the right access' message. Wtf's going on?
Thanks

XP is so garrreeeeoafieblgg.
wish i could help you. i suggest you just yell at it a lot and drink lots of alcohol. of course it doesn't fix anything, but it sure makes things more interesting, i s'pose.

They do (ie. no pwd) I think it may have something to do with the fact that I'm running Pro whereas he's running Home. groan

are you guys both on the same workgroup?
home vs pro shouldn't matter.

no no no need to do that
that would only be for 9x kernal (win98 winme etc)
no workgroups either
that shit doesnt matter
do this
HIS LOGON ACCOUNT ADN YOUR LOGIN ACCOUNT DO NOT MATTER
THIS IS NT
ok ------------------ delete that account you just made
go in to computer management/local users/users
right click, add/create new
make a new user (call it 'temp' or something)
set password
share your folder
now tell the guy to connect to your computer
either by WINS hostname i.e., start / run \\yourcomputernamehere
or easier to just do IP
\\192.168.0.3 or whatever your ip is
then it should pop up a username and password window
enter in the username /pw you created on your computer
BAM YER IN
simple as that
most likely the problem is you created a user on your computer to match his , and his password differs from the one you entered.
oh well, just do it that way it will work
