Hello all...
I have a small network composed of 10 computers, I was using the Windows ME,
Now I installed Windows XP Pro and used the system preparation tool to
deploy the system to all the computers in my network with the help of disk
imaging software.

The problem is that I can't access the shares on the computers at all !

Thanks in advance for your help

What does "can't" mean?

I get a message saying that I don't have the permission to access this
computer !
The message appears when I try to access the computers in my workgroup.
Do I have to modify user accounts on my network?

In a workgroup environment, you have to have duplicate accounts (same
username and password) on all the machines if you want to access shares.
Either that, or you have to specify a different account with which to
connection. Example:

Joe uses COMPUTERA and logs on as Joe.
Ray uses COMPUTERB and logs on as Ray.

Joe wants to access Ray's \\COMPUTERB\MP3s share.

To make this possible, one of these things can be done:
- Ray creates a user named "Joe" on his computer, and sets the password to
the same password that Joe uses on his computer.

- Joe opens up his command prompt, because he's cool, and enters:
net use M: \\COMPUTERB\MP3s /user:COMPUTERB\Ray
[enters Ray's password in this non-security-conscious environment]

I used 2 users accounts on all the computers, one of them is a limited
account and the other is the Administrator account.
All the computers mostly log in using the limited account which has the same
name on all the computers. and all of them have no passwords.
The account name is: "Limited" with no password on all the computers, which
named PC1, PC2, PC3,,, etc.
So, the user account is created on all the computers, and though, I can't
access the shares!

Thanks for you time and help that I really appreciate.

Hi,
I have 3 computers on my local area network: Win2000, Win 98, and Win XP. They get their dynamic IP addresses from a router. They all connect to the Internet without problems.
Locally, I have a problem. Win98 can see and access files on both XP and Win2000. No problem. Both Win2000 and XP can see Win98, but cannot access it. The message I get when trying to access Win98 from Win2000 is “\\Computer_name is not accessible. Parameter is incorrect�, and a similar message when I am trying to access Win98 from XP.
Win2000 cannot see XP at all in “My Network Places�, and likewise XP cannot see Win2000. I’ve tried Pinging Win2000 from XP and visa versa and it works: not only I Ping them by their IP addresses but also by their names successfully.
Has anybody encountered a similar problem? Any suggestions?
I would accept unsecure communications among the computers

Appreciate any help,

Vadim

Does this limited account have NTFS and share permissions to the share?
Also, if you have any XP machines, I believe that XP has issues with
allowing people to authenticate remotely with a blank password. I forget if
it has those issues by default or not though.

Yes,,,, All the partitions are NTFS with customized permissions.

Could this be because of the security identifiers?
And how to know the security identifier of a computer?

With the win2k and the winxp machines, do they have the
same accounts on them? I mean that if win2k was using an
account called acc1 and winxp acc2. Make sure that there
is an account on both machines for acc1 and acc2. That
seems to have helped alot between nt based machines. It
might work by having the nt machines have an account that
the 98 machine uses.

hope that didn't sound confusing.
