Can't back up open files on one machine, but can on anotherI'm trying to back up files from 2 different XP home computers from a
3rd XP home computer. On the 3rd computer I can read the open IN.MBX Eudora mailbox file from one XP computer, but not the other. Both are set up on a NetBIOS/IPX/SPX network, both using simple file sharing, both have the "Allow network users to change my files" checked. What other setting am I missing that could be different on the 2 machines? On 12 Oct 2006 09:24:40 -0700, contro***@hotmail.com wrote:

The registry settings restrictanonymous and RestrictNullSessAccess come to mind. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/05/registry-settings-which-affect-access.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2006/05/registry-settings-which-affect-access.html And check permissions in general. <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. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. I figured it out; I closed all apps, unshared the drive, rebooted,
shared the drive, rebooted again. Now I can access the files. I thought I did that once before but without the rebooting, maybe rebooting is the key. contro***@hotmail.com wrote:
