Re: Unable to Logon to another computer in Workgroup



I have been reading this thread with interest since I am experiencing the
same type of sharing problem between two machines Machine A can access the
shares of Machine B but when B accesses A I get the logon error mentioned
above.

Machine A has its shares defined. I go to A's folder options to uncheck the
"use simple file sharing" option. A does not have a "Use Simple File
Sharing" option! Its option list ends with "Show pop-up description for
folder and desktop items" even though shares are defined.

Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you - Steve
