I have a simple peer to peer network. One XP pro machine and one XP home
machine. With simple file sharing turned on the pro machine, the home machine
can access shares with out entering any credentials---just how I want it.
When I turn simple file sharing off on the pro machine the home machine needs
to enter credentials regardless of the permissions set on the pro machine. It
does work but I have to enter info after every login. The guest account is
enabled in both instances. What changes when simple file sharing is enabled
and how can I do it manually? Another odd thing is when I have identical
users set up on both machines including passwords I have to re-enter info
when accessing a share on the pro machine(when simple sharing is off). I have
done this on other networks as long as I am logged in as a common user I can
browse without entering anything. I am not really in a bind but I would like
to understand how this works. Thanks in advance for any help.
