This use to work fine HELP !!!

[syborfical]

I use to have a win2k box. When I went to any share a little pop up window would come up and ask me who id like to logon as. I could go to any computer on my network and logon to the 2k box using any of its local uses. This was great as my 2k box was used for a file server.

I have recently upgraded and now have windows xp pro.
Each time I go to the pc it tells me I?m not authenticated or my permissions are wrong. WTF?

Eg Here is what i use to have running windows 2000 pro

Computer name pc

Shares c:\share shared as share

\\pc\share

Would give me a nice logon box.

I had 3 users

Admin
Game
Upload

All 3 users could access that dir

Admin could do what ever they wanted to do

Game could only browse the contents and copy it.

Upload could upload and browse but not delete anything.

Now windows XP won?t let me do this. Is there a way I can choose how I authenticate when goto \\pc\share from any computer on my network??? Or have MircoCRAP gotten ride of this all together?

You need to disable the windows simple file sharing on all computers. Simple file sharing makes windows authenticate as Guest. To turn the feature off:
1. Click Start | My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the list of advanced settings and un-check Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended).
3. Click OK.

Just for giggles make an administrative/hidden share. Actually you don't have to create one. You can try to browse to //servername/c$ from a remote machine that does not have user credentials logged on to get to that resource
