My shared folder asks for a password...Hello there,
On my client site, I have to access a shared folder on a workgroup XP SP2 computer, the permission of which is "Everyone" (on the "Sharing" and on the "Security" tab). When I try to access the folder from Windows Server 2003, an account/password are asked for. I would like a way to find and modify the XP PC (or the W2k3 server ?) to avoid this behavior. I read interesting blogs (http://networking.nitecruzr.net/2005/06/file-sharing-under-windows-xp.html), but the matter is quite complex and I can't figure out why a public shared folder needs a authentication... Best regards

Do they work properly? Does the XP "server" use Guest authentication, or non-Guest? I'm not sure that Server 2003 supports Guest authentication, when accessing another server. Hi Chuck,

The UNC share was accessible on a session started with this account, but the COM component has an access denied response when started by the web service. I've googled the web, and found that I needed to use the same account on the Web server and on the XP computer. Now it works. Best regards |
