Problems mounting network drive in XP Pro

[AznMaverick]

I try to map network drive from my computer > tools. However, after entering the address and pressing 'enter', it says that my password is wrong, when i enter my password again the login box is greyed out and only has computer name\Guest. I also set a guest password, but the computer won't seem to even accept that...what do i do?

Service Pack 2 really locks down XP. You need to set the share permissions on the directory you are sharing out. Plus you will need to set the NTFS permissions.

Mapping is depending on the File Sharing sysytem, make sure that your sharing is working correctly: Sharing Disk Drives Between Computers on Windows Network.

This is normal for XP Pro. You always had to disable simple sharing to set NTFS permissions.
