Folders in 2k say they are shared but they are lieing

[NozlerAtClemson]

I haved made two shares in 2k pro. I did this before with a different install of 2k and it worked fine. I set it for all users have full access, anonymous logon, and everything I can think of but it still asks for a password and rejects the admin and any other password. why in the hell will it not just let them be shared without a password. This is driving me insane.

Set your guest account to enabled, it is disabled by default do not use if your concerned about security.

did that, still asks for a password

I'm not trying to dis you. Are you logging in as Admin and have you done this on both PC? Something else, are you using dynamic verses static ips?

 

[NozlerAtClemson]

my shares on the old install would work with any microsoft network client. I didn't have to log into them on another machine through 2k as admin. My machine is always on as admin. The college uses a dhcp server but the ip is the same every time I check it. win95/98 could see my shares before. I didn't think you were dising me. I like any help.

Disable IPsec.

 

[NozlerAtClemson]

where and what is ipsec?

 

[AfterBurn]

Its IP security and can be found in the TCP/IP properties of your NIC.

Are you sure both machines are in the same workgroup?

 

[NozlerAtClemson]

having both machines in the same workgroup has never been need.

 

[NozlerAtClemson]

just checked, ipsec has been off
