Re: Simple problem not solved



Create the user accounts on the computers with the shares and give those
users or a group they are a member of permissions to access the share. That
is the best way to do it. If you are already logged onto a computer and want
to access a folder that you do not have permissions to then you need to
logoff the computer and logon as a user that does have access and it would
make sense as an administrator to grant all users that should have access to
a folder permissions to the folder.

If you are logged onto a computer with a user account that does not exist on
the computer with the share then you should get a credential prompt in order
to access the share assuming simple file sharing is disabled on the computer
with the share. Also XP Pro requires that user account have passwords for a
network logon. Another alternative is to use the net use command to map a
drive to a share providing the user account to use as in net use *
\\servername\sharename /u:computername\user . Keep in mind that XP Pro can
use stored credentials and to access a network share if the stored
credentials have the wrong password access will be denied. Type control
userpasswords2 in the run box and then go to advanced - manage passwords to
see stored credentials for your user account if any.

Hi, I run a network at home, with 3 computers. Lets call them computer A,
B
and C. So now computer A has folders with Access control (ACL) set to one
especific user (lets call him user 1). Now suppose that a user 2 working
at
computer B tries to get temporally rights to access computer A folder
owned
by the user 1, of course, knowing the username and password for user 1.

Or even worst, lets say that a user 3 that exists in computer A tries to
access the same folder inside the computer A. Is there any way to do it,
like
in other operative systems like OS X, where if you want the access and you
dont have the rights, but you know the right username and password you can
get it?

Thanks in advance
