Thank you so much Steve
Your explaination and the links provide information on why my last
attempt to setup a XP File server cause so many access problems. For
example mentioned by
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/index.htm
Unable to Browse the Network
On a Windows 95/98/Me machine, the most common cause of this is that
the user isn't logged on. (This mean I still need to create the same
account on 98 machines)
User is prompted for IPC$ Password
Your current user name doesn't exist on the XP machine.? To fix this,
either enable the Guest account, or log in with a user name which has a
valid account on the XP machine. (This also mean I still need to create
the same account on 98 machines)
I think the solution is
1)create 40 accounts on the XP File Server and 98 machine. Create 40
folders on the File Server, setup NTFS permission on each folder.
2)Give new user ID and password to 40 teachers.
3)Log in with the ID and PW when using 98 machine
4)Log in as usual when using 2000, XP machine
5)Teach them how to open and save files to their own folder on the File
Server. If prompt for a password, use the new ID and PW given.
My new questions are
1) How to prevent them from share out local folders, is a restricted
user account a solution? how about on 98 machine?
2) I would like to map all 40 folders to each machine in order to make
the change easier to comply. How to map 40 network folders to each
machine, there are only 26 drive letters and some of them have been
used. I think I can nest 40 folders under TeachFolder and map only the
TeachFolder to Drive X:. Any disadvantage? I heard that it slow down a
lot software, especially Ms Office when open and save file.
3) All machine is under the same workgroup "abcschool" now. By
assigning diferent workgroup the machine will not be able to
communicate right? So is it possible to make the workgroup change
according to who is logged in, eg when a student login, the workgroup
of the machine automatically became "abcschool_student" so that he will
not be able to see the File Server. When later a teacher login on the
same machine, the workgroup change to "abcschool_teacher" and he is
able to access the File Server. Is this possible?
