Re: Network/Security issue with $ shares



See the first link below that explains what is going on as it sounds as if
you already have a connection to the computer. You can use the command net
use to see if you have any sessions to the computer which could be due to a
mapped drive or such using persistent credentials. I would also look in the
security log of the XP computer for failed logons that may explain more of
what is going on. You can use Local Security Policy to make sure that
auditing of loon events is enabled. ---- Steve
