Win XP file sharing prob


Recommended Posts

I have a prob with file sharing on my network. First, I shared my files for a long time but I needed to put a user name for each comp name that I wanted them to access my file. After that I found that check box 'bout it, there was a dialog that was opening saying that they need to enter a username and password... That's what I wanted, but from 2 weeks ago, ppl trying to access my comp are getting error like: can't access file or something saying they can't enter at all my comp exept if there comp name is in my list. I look where the check box is and it's not checked like it was since it worked.... WTH is going on and how to fix that? Is it a service that I deactive without my knowledge?

Check out other thread about this too. But you need to make user names and passwords. Not so much computer names. But the user name can be what ever you want, so if your making it computer names.

you really understand nothing here!!!! I want that ppl accessing my comp have a prompt for username and password, right now, if they don't have a username/pass at there comp name, it won't access, and if there is a username at there name, it will ask for password, but there is no username prompt and all my friends comp do!!! we are all running XP and i'm the only one that suddently stop working!
