Hi, my Windows XP machine cannot see shared drives on the other Windows 2000 one. It CAN see the Windows 2000 machine, though. When I click on the machine icon, it prompts for a username and a password, which I am not used to getting and don't know what to put in.
They are connected through a Linksys cable modem router. I just installed Windows XP Professional on one of them, and the other one has Windows 2000 Professional.
On Windows 2000, the E drive is set to be shared; I've given full control permission to the account "NETWORK". On Windows XP, the E drive is also shared, and both "share this folder on the network" and "allow network users to change my files" are checked.
These machines are in the same workgroup; I'm not using any domain. I've enabled NetBEUI on both PCs. (I manually added NetBEUI for Windows XP as it was no longer automatically available.)
So the basic problem is, the Win2k machine has no problem seeing and accessing the shared resources on WinXP, but WinXP needs a username and a password for the Win2k one.
Hopefully I've provided enough info here. 🙂 Any input is greatly appreciated.
