I appreciate all the advice thus far. I'm still a bit stuck in making this
work. If A= XP Home and B= Pro then this is what I have:
- Re-read one of my favorite articles: Q308418
- Home and Pro have shared their root drives. (Yes, i know this is bad. It
is what the customer wants over my strong objection). Each drive is NTFS.
- Home and Pro have file sharing turned on. Pro has "simple file sharing"
turned off. (this doesn't matterfor Pro, either way Pro shares files)
- Restarted Home in Safe Mode. Logged on as Administrator. Completely
different sharing options appeared. The 'everyone' group (the only group)
has read, change, and full control selected. So any file on Home should be
able to be seen and modified.
- Home's guest account is turned on.
- Home and Pro Windows Firewall each show and exception for "file and
printer sharing.
The results:
- Home can map any drive on Pro and see/modify any file on Pro.
- Pro cannot see any drive on Home. Mapping a drive by specific name ie
\\melmachine\melsc and with alternate credentials (guest) leads to the same
error:
"Mapped network drive could not be created because the following error has
occurred:
Logon Failure: The used has not been granted the requested logon type at
this computer. Contact your network administrator for assistance.
So, I'm still kinda stuck. If you have any suggestions, they would be
greatly appreciated
