I have a small network of 3 computers all Win 2K pro.
i log in as administrator (all rights). 2 other employees log in with their
names and passwords. One of the computers is giving me trouble by not
allowing it to access the main computer. A message says that that user is
not the right type to access. The user is a power user. If i make the user
an administrator, it can access the main computer but i dont want this
person to have those priviledges. I only want to be able to access the one
file I have shared on my computer.
I added the user on my computer as well. Still it can't access main
computer.

Is there something I missed in setting user to a power user?

Thank you for suggestions

Did you create a share or are you trying to use the built-in administrative
shares like C$ ?

If you created a share, what are the permissions on it? As well as the
permissions on the folder being shared?

I assume you have created accounts with the same names and passwords on
each?

What is the exact error message you get? Does it say "user has not been
granted the requested logon type" ??

I created the share on a specific folder and then mapped that folder.
I dont recall setting permissions on the folder itself.
yes, i created teh same user/password on the both machines.
yes, the error says "user has not been granted the requested logon type.
