Password Fails When Accessing Shared Folder Over Network
Jul 13, 2010
From my XP SP2 (Media Center Edition) computer, I can access shared folders on my other computers (a Vista, a W7, and another XP computer). However, those computers cannot access shared folders on this computer (the XP SP2 machine).The shared folders are visible from the other computers, but when they attempt to access them, they get a dialog box to log in with userid and password. I have tried various combinations of userid and password, including "thiscomputernameprimaryaccountname" with the associated password. Authentication fails.I am using simple file sharing.
I have a shared folder which contains many folders for many users on my network and to make users folders recognisable we chose to fix a folder picture of every folder with the picture of the folder owner. The problem is that those folders never have a constant folder picture on all of my network computers as the picture always changes for some reason, I've tried to set permissions on thumb.db file
I have this problem trying to connect to my laptop or desktop (both ways).I am able to see the shared folders, but if I want to access them I get a password prompt. It asks me for a password and nothing works, I've tried enable/disable guest account.
I have shared my folder in to LAN network on your company. I know someone access in to that folder and chane information the files. So, How to trace log in windows XP and know who has access and changed
I am having a system with XP Pro x64 with multiple shared folders. Here is the setup. I have about 10 users (1 Admin account, 9 Limited accounts). I have created 10 folders for each User and modified them as shared folders with each user having access to their respective folders ONLY while the Admin account will have access to all folders. I have disabled 'Simple File Sharing', switched off Guest Account. Now I can view this system on other systems on the n/w. But the problem is, if I map a shared folder on one system, I was not able to map anymore on other systems and it gives error, 'the system can not accept multiple connections' in those lines.
In previously highlighted issues regarding backing-up shared documents to my Seagate Freeagent hard drive, I simply decided to move the My Music Folder from the shared documents folder, but Windows is disallowing me from doing this stating that My Music is a Windows system folder & cannot be renamed or removed? Any help please on getting around this to move My Music from the shared documents? I'm running XP with servce pack 3.
this problem is a little tricky to explain.I have 2 computers (A and B) on a home network, connected through a router and hard-wired with Cat5 cable. They are both running Windows XP Pro SP3 and file/print sharing is turned on. Simple file sharing is turned on.Both computers can Ping each other successfully. Both computers can "Net View" each other successfully.Both computers can see the other's shared folders in My Network Places.Computer A can access the shared folders on Computer B and transfer files, etc.
I have a new pc freshly installed with XP SP3. I used it as a server, I shared the two harddrives and mapped them as drive F and G on the network. The sharing and mapping is successfull, however, after a few minutes of being started (or after the pc has been restarted), the sahred folders and harddrives were self-disconnected for unknown reasons. My colleage timed it, and the sharing lasts only 15 minutes after restart then it is disonnected from the network. When i say disconnected - i mean i can't be seen from other PC's connected to the network, i need to restart the pc (again and again) in order for the harddrive and folder sharing is restored. I can say it is disconnected because the sharing icon (a hand with a disk drive on the palm) disappears and other PC's cannot access it.
I have a work laptop running Win XP Pro that connects to my company domain, and to a company VPN. I need to be able to print documents at home, where I have a wireless/wired network (workgroup). The printer is a shared printer my home desktop PC (Win XP Home).I'm able to connect to the internet using my home network, but I can't connect to shared computers and printers. Is there any way to do this without losing access to my work domain?
I was wondering if anyone could help me in solving a little problem that I overlooked.I had XP OS on C drive and my documents on D drive. I recently had to reinstall my OS on C drive from scratch due to a bug, trying to make sure that I installed it in the same manner.Everything proceeding fine, until I went to access my documents on D Drive. In the inital setup I had set security/privacy access to limit only me seeing my documents, now after reinstallation I can no longer access my documents due to it not recongnising me as the account holder or administator. I can access all other documents shared etc.. but not mine.
I am having a problem sharing a folder on my local network. Both PC's are using Windows XP Professional.Both PC's can see each other fine. I have simple file sharing disabled.When I try to access the shared folder I get the following error message:Quote: \CATHYTemp is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.Access is denied. Of course, if I grant permissions to 'EVERYONE' in the security tab, I can connect to share fine.
Have an XP box with a shared printer on it. Have setup to allow, network, everyone, anonymous, guest, etc. Anything to let the people print to it without a password. However to do so, all need to connect to the \ipshare first, enter id and password (and admin acct o n the XP box). Then it prints, until they log off then it repeats. I do not want any prompt for a password. With the old NT 4 system there it worked fine. No password. New system and new printer was put in place. Permissions seem right and like I said I tried adding everything to have ti connect without a password. And the last thing I wan tto do is add every single user to that box as an account.
What i want to do is restrict a limited user from accessing the internet without a password. I have been looking around in the computer management console but don't see what i am looking for. Do i need to set up a new policy?
I am working in domain with 30 desktops and one server. Every user is able to access shared folders from every other system as per rights assigned. But in one system, whenever an user tries to access shared folder he gets the following message: "\*.*.*.* is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.The account is not authorised to log in from this station."
Brief synopsis:I recently did a new Windows XP install (after a crash). Now I cannot get my printer to install. The printer is a SHARED printer (HP Deskjet F380) on another machine on the network. The printer was previous installed on this machine before the crash and reinstall of WinXP.After nearly 2 hours on the phone w/ HP support, it's been determined (by HP support) that somewhere in the XP install, a missing XP driver is keeping this install from properly allowing any printers to be installed. The printer will 'appear' to be installed, but any attempt to print brings an error saying printer drivers aren't properly installed.
Is there a way (on XP), to have password security on shared folders? We have a "backup server," which is nothing more then a workstation with Windows ME, that our users store files on. Everyone has their own folder with a different password. I can't get a HD to work that is larger than 120gb. I have an XP machine with a 300gb HD that I would like to use, but I absolutely have to be able to have passwords on the shared
I recently installed a program to block my internet at night so I can get back in to a normal routine. The only problem is I can simpley go in to task manager and end process and repair connection and i can do what I want again. I want to stop me from using computer at night so i can get in to a good happier routine. In order to stop me acessing program i passworded it with password i could not remember off top of my head, tried to make it as random as possible. but because i can just go in process and end it... its kinda pointless.
I left it so I can uninstall it because well there maybe a valid reason why I need to uninstall it sometime... and i know better then to never leave one safe clause. I know I wont uninstall it tho but because its so easy to just go to processes and end it... its just to easy. So I wanted away in which I can block processes from been closed or hide it so I can't close it like that.
I ve got a simple network where i can see shared folder in the workgroup folder. Everythink works fine but i have created a new account for my friend and when accesing with that account i cannot access the shared folder any more and prompts for user name and password.
When i go to Documents and settings, i can see the inside of my own folder, the other administrator folder, my 12 years old limited-user folder - but not my 8-year old sister's limited-user folder!It pops up an "error" saying: Cocuments and settings/"Lisa" is not accessible. "No access"and it shows that the folder contains 0 byte.When I logg in to her account, then I can check what is inside.
I have xp home and my computer and laptop are connected wireless.Had it set up to share the printer and an extra hard drive that I have (but not C Drive).This all works fine However I have looked at my Shared Documents on each computer and even though I can open them and no error message comes up, I cannot see files I put in them from either computer.I have Zone Alarm on one and Norton on the other Disabled them but no change What am I missing here?
I'm using Windows XP SP2 Home Edition and am trying to access the C:System Volume Information folder, but I keep getting an "Access is denied" message, even after following the below directions. 1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK. 2. Make sure that you are in the root folder of the partition for which you want to gain access to the System Volume Information folder. For example, to gain access the C:System Volume Information folder, make sure that you are in the root folder of drive C (at a "C:" prompt). 3. Type the following line, and then press ENTER:cacls "driveletter:System Volume Information" /E /G username:F. Make sure to type the quotation marks as indicated. This command adds the specified user to the folder with Full Control permissions. 4. Double-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder to open it. 5. If you need to remove the permissions after troubleshooting, type the following line at a command prompt: cacls "driveletter:System Volume Information" /E /R username..This command removes all permissions for the specified user. My problem may be with step #2, as I'm not sure what to do what it says in the last sentence. How do I get to a C: prompt?

My intellimouse works correctly for awhile then double click fails. When this occurs the mouse control panel fails to open. Shutting down and restart corrects the problem-but only for awhile and then the same thing happens over again. I reloaded software to no avail. any help?
i have a HP Pavilion laptop [dv5117ci] with factory load XP Pro SP2and factory restore discs. the system became corrupted by a failed Win update. it had multiple files showing bad, so rather than chase them one at a time for an unknowable number of days, I decided to create a new directory and install fresh copy of WinXP Pro That looked like it was going to work but after being up on the initial boot, wobbly, for about 45 minutes, something caused a freeze, and I was toasted after that. Same routine again: bootup, get error "Windows failed to start because the following file is missing or corrupt"
