> Hi Jack - What am I looking for under user accounts? There is 1 user account See this:> and the guest account. If one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center: a. If you need Pro's ability to set fine-grained permissions, turn off Simple File Sharing (Folder Options>View tab) and create identical user accounts/passwords on all computers. b. If you don't care about using Pro's advanced features, leave the Simple File Sharing enabled. Simple File Sharing means that Guest (network) is enabled. This means that anyone without a user account on the target system can use its resources. This is a security hole but only you can decide if it matters in your situation. Then create shares as desired. XP Home does not permit sharing of users' home directories (My Documents) or Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. If that doesn't work for you, here is an excellent network troubleshooter by MVP Hans-Georg Michna. Take the time to go through it and it will usually pinpoint the problem area(s) - http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm Malke -- I want to live in Theory. Everything works in Theory. If you are getting this message trying to map a drive, try changing the user
via the "different user name" link. Use a user from the machine in question (example <computername>\<username>). Then try to connect. It sounds like you are trying to connect to a different machine using the local machine user account credentials.

in case. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813936/ I'm not 100% positive on XP Home ed. but I would make sure that you have NetBios over TCP/IP turned on (since a small network) and make sure the computer browser and the server service are running.

Been there, but am going to do it again. This is just annoying me now...

It's a Local Security Policy setting, but with XP Home, you have to do some extra work. NTRights is the best tool for the job. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/advanced-file-sharing-tweaks-in.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/advanced-file-sharing-tweaks-in.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
