I really do not like having users share accounts and feel it is worth the
extra work to create users on all the computers or better yet go to an
Active Directory domain though I understand budget restraints. I am not sure
why you are having the problem you are with authenticating but normally when
a user is logged onto the client computer with a different user account than
what exists on the "server" the user will be prompted for credentials to
give them a change to authenticate to the server. If they are logged on with
a user account that exists on the server computer but the account on the
server has a different password than the client logged on with they will get
an access denied message and yes Windows XP can store credentials as shown
in the link below. You may find that type 3 logon events in the security log
on the server computer [with the share] may provide helpful information on
why there are access problems. --- Steve
